The opportunity
We are recruiting experienced Orthopaedic-skilled nurses and those new to Elective Orthopaedics, to work in our newly opened Theatre Orthopaedics ward at Doncaster Royal Infirmary.
The Trust will be opening a 12-bedded ring fenced elective inpatient ward at Doncaster Royal Infirmary – predominantly supporting Elective Orthopaedic Inpatient services in October 2022. This is a newly built modular facility encompassing a 12 bedded ward and adjoining elective theatre & recovery suite.
As such, we are looking for individuals who are passionate about delivering high quality evidence-based elective care, focusing on a positive patient experience and reducing length of stay across the elective pathway.
Applications from non-Orthopaedic speciality nurses are welcomed and will be offered an excellent support/training package delivered by our clinically based practice development nurses with a focus on development of Orthopaedic knowledge and clinical skills.
Our Orthopaedic Multi-Disciplinary Team are excited to welcome all new staff to the speciality at a time when elective services are exploring innovative and proven ways for the whole team to improve patient outcomes, reduce length of stay and reduce the pandemic driven elective backlog. This is an exciting time to join Team DBTH where you will be able to develop speciality skills supported by our clinically based practice development team and build upon you leadership skills through a range of offers from our leadership & organisational development team.
In short, we offer:
- An exciting opportunity to work with a dynamic, multi-skilled team within trauma and elective orthopaedics.
- The chance to work within the Trust’s newest department which includes a new operating theatre, recovery suite and an inpatient ward.
- A seamless working environment that will allow us to treat more patients in a modern environment that meets their needs.
- Facilities will help improve patient experience by helping to clear the backlog of operations and help the recovery process.
- New staff will be supported by our new Practice Development Lead for Orthopaedics and encourage to develop and enhance their skills.
- Focus of teamwork and creating a passionate and focused team who are committed to improving patient experience.
- Opportunities to work across both elective and trauma pathways.
The working environment

As part of a £12.4 million investment in 2021, this area is an extension to the existing Women’s and Children’s Hospital, and, alongside significant enabling works, contains a modern surgical theatre and related plant room, as well as two inpatient wards which initially house Paediatric beds for a few months. The extensions has been completed using modern methods of construction (MMC) and cutting edge technology by ModuleCo – with similar techniques employed in the construction of facilities such as university student accommodation, the hotel industry, as well as hospitals about to be built as part of the Government’s new programme. The theatre facilities are the best the Trust has throughout its three sites.
