“Our priority is patient safety, and that means ensuring our highly skilled ICU nurses maintain the level of competency critically ill patients rightly expect. Bassetlaw Hospital sees fewer very sick patients, and a short-term rotation with Doncaster is the safest and most effective way to keep those specialist skills up-to-date.”
What Karen Jessop has said
“This new approach gives nurses a clear route to build their careers – from newly qualified registered nurse through to senior roles such as sister or charge nurse, and on to specialist and leadership positions. Just as importantly, it helps us support our colleagues to grow their careers here in Doncaster and Bassetlaw, so we can keep experienced nurses in our hospitals.”
