NCEPOD Peri-operative care study: critical care nurses required for advisory group


NCEPOD is examining the peri-operative care of inpatients who underwent surgery in a given time period, looking for remediable factors.  The closing date for applications for clinical advisors was on 5 March 2010 but more critical care nurses are required.  The role entails reviewing patients’ casenote extracts and providing expert opinion on the patients’ care. 

Advisors are welcome throughout the UK (except Scotland) and need to be in current clinical practice.

There is a training day on 8 July 2010 (alternative date is 21 July) followed by approximately 6 meetings over an 8 month period starting in August 2010.  Meetings are held in central London, on Mondays and Thursdays from 10am-4pm.  NCEPOD will reimburse applicants for their travel expenses.

 

If you are interested in applying, kindly email your (preferably abridged) CV together with the names of 2 referees to periopcare@ncepod.org.uk
