About the role
Job Purpose
Connolly Hospital Emergency Department places a huge focus on nurse education and further professional development, with the support of two full-time Clinical Facilitators in the department. In 2026, 14 nursing staff were awarded funding for post graduate education courses.
Along with external education, the team in Connolly also focus’ on onsite education, including;
- Resuscitation Skills Workshops (Intubation, Pacing & Cardioversion, Chest Drain Management, Arterial/CVC management & ED specific scenarios)
- Simulation Training (Monthly with ED specific presentations working as a multidisciplinary team)
- Continuous Clinical Education from Clinical Skills Facilitators (Mon – Fri 12hr shifts)
With increased attendances in ED in recent years, and additional pressure on Triages nurses, the successful appointment of an ECG technician at Triage has significantly reduced the workload on Triage nurses on Connolly ED. Safety for nursing staff is a priory for Connolly ED, with personal security alarms available for staff, along with 24 hour security presence in the ED.
The Staff Nurse will assess, plan, implement and evaluate care to the highest professional and ethical standards within the model of nursing care practiced in the relevant care setting. The staff nurse will provide holistic, person centred care, promoting optimum independence and enhancing the quality of life for service users.
