NHS Blood and Transplant is a vital area of modern healthcare, improving patient outcomes and saving lives. This is your chance to become part of this essential work while developing your clinical skills as a Nurse Practitioner. As an experienced, registered nurse with current nursing & midwifery registration, your talents can make a positive difference to our Therapeutic Apheresis Services team based at Bristol Haematology and Oncology centre within the University hospital Bristol Trust & 7 other sites across the country.

The Therapeutic Apheresis Services (TAS) team delivers a range of therapeutic apheresis treatments to patients.

Stem cell harvests for bone marrow transplantation are collected for patients across southwest region & donor registries, All treatments are carried out using the most modern up to date cell separation equipment.

As a Nurse Practitioner with TAS you will work closely with the Lead Nurse to provide all aspects of clinical care for patients and stem cell donors. This involves working as part of a dynamic specialised team, acting as a source of clinical expertise and supervising new and less experienced staff, including student nurses.

In addition you should have experience of mentoring, teaching and daily clinical/ward management. Success in this role is dependent on excellent communication skills, use of initiative and the ability to get the best out of others.

In return, we offer a rewarding career with great benefits, plus every opportunity for development through a comprehensive in-house training package and support of academic study.
