The Surgical Hub at Cork University Hospital (CUH) will be a dedicated facility designed to enhance day-case surgery and ambulatory capacity, addressing public waiting lists in advance of the development of regional elective hospitals. It will be located on the CUH campus, a Model 4 hospital, and will operate under the governance of CUH’s Peri Operative Directorate. The construction of the Surgical Hub is progressing at pace and is on target to have construction completed by Q1 2026, and will be operational by Q3 2026. Initially two theatres will be operational, with an additional two shell and core theatres expected to become operational at a later date. The Surgical Hub also includes Pre Admission Assessment Clinic rooms, and minor procedure rooms. As a regional resource, the Surgical Hub will provide access to patients across Cork and Kerry requiring day case procedures. The facility aims to reduce elective surgery waiting times to less than twelve weeks, aligning with the Sláintecare targets. It will operate from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m., six days per week, 50 weeks a year. The Surgical Hub will be a standalone day surgery unit accessible to surgeons from across the region. It will cater for patients who have been pre-selected and pre-assessed for planned elective procedures who can be discharged on the same day. The Surgical Hub will manage relatively low acuity cases and high volume in nature, aiming to address waiting lists. It will provide services for patients with an ASA score of 1 (fit and healthy) or ASA 2 (mild systemic disease).

Purpose of Post The main purpose of the post is to develop the job description and supporting documentation under the direction of the Health Care Provider’s Advanced Practice Stakeholder Governance Group, to enable the individual nurse to meet the NMBI Criteria for Registration as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner as set out in Advanced Practice (Nursing) Standards and Requirements (NMBI, 2017). The individual will undertake the academic preparation and develop the clinical and leadership skills, competencies and knowledge required to meet the criteria to be registered as a RANP with NMBI. The scope of the cANP role must reflect the incremental development of expertise and as such, the cANP cannot deliver care as an autonomous practitioner. Furthermore, the cANP will develop and submit their personal portfolio and all other necessary documentation to NMBI in order to register as a RANP. The value of the nursing contribution as a distinct profession must be safeguarded and articulated in the development of new services led by advanced nurse practitioners, complementing rather than replacing current services delivered by doctors (NMBI 2017 p.9). The overall purpose of the post is to provide safe, timely, evidenced based nurse-led care to patients at an advanced nursing level .This involves undertaking and documenting a complete episode of patient care (assess, diagnose, plan, treat and discharge patients) according to collaboratively agreed protocols and scope of practice in the clinical setting; demonstrating advanced clinical and theoretical knowledge, critical thinking, clinical leadership and decision making skills. The advanced practice role demonstrates a high degree of knowledge, skill and experience that is applied within the nurse-patient/client relationship to achieve optimal outcomes through critical analysis, problem solving and accurate decision-making (NMBI, 2017). Central to this is the provision of quality care, a safe environment and processes for patients by the use of evidence based clinical guidelines that address patient expectations, promote wellness and evaluate care given. The role will provide clinical leadership and professional scholarship in order to develop nursing practice and health policy at local, regional and national level. The role will contribute to nursing research to shape and advance nursing practice, education and health care policy at local, national and international levels levels Informal Enquiries Name: Caitriona Hayes, Assistant Director of Nursing, Hospital Kerry Phone 066 7184362 Email: Caitriona.Hayes@hse.ie Name: Eddie Myres, RANP Gastroenterology, Endoscopy Unit, University Hospital Kerry.
