Exciting opportunities have arisen for Staff Nurses to join our Surgical Triage and Assessment unit Ward F5/F6. As a team we offer support, both physically and mentally to all our patients from diagnosis, transitional from surgery and continually throughout their treatment plan.

Recently the Royal Oldham has received encouraging feedback from the CQC recognising the good level of care provided by our teams across the care organisation and an overall general improvement in areas of safety and leadership.

The division of surgery has recently embarked on some new and exciting changes by commencing an improvement programme focusing on the deteriorating patient.
