Specialist Macmillan Dietitian (Band 7)
Salary scale: £29,091 – 38,352
Nottingham University Hospital NHS Trust
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Dietitian to
work with an Occupational Therapist and Physiotherapist in
providing pro-active supportive care focused on Cachexia,
Anorexia and Related Experiences (e.g.
fatigue, sleep and mood disturbance). You will be able to explore
the place of dietetics in multiprofessional pallative care support
and gain significant experience in research and evaluation as well
as clinical support. This new multiprofessional CARE team will be
fully integrated into the existing Lung Cancer and Palliative Care
services, with dedicated medical input from two consultants in
Palliative Medicine. You will work mostly with out patients,
visiting people in hospital and community settings and have
professional links to the dietetic community outreach team. This
project is supported by Macmillan Cancer Support through a three
year project grant to fund a coordinated multidisciplinary service
for people with lung cancer and mesothelioma. The project aims to
understand the supportive care needs of this group of people,
maximise function and independence by offering the best available
evidence-based care. There will be a continuous process of
evaluation to review and improve the care offered, aiming to
develop a model of care that will be rolled out to other centres
and people with other types of cancer.
Applicants should have significant experience of working as a
dietitian, excellent communication skills and relevant clinical
knowledge including experience of nutritional support. Our large,
friendly department supports personal development and takes an
active role in training others, including student dietitians.
Macmillan support is also available for the team, including
training and professional development. Nottingham University
Hospitals NHS Trust is one of the largest in the UK with an annual
budget of more than £500 million, enjoying close links with the
City's Universities and attracting the highest calibre of
staff.
