About the Role:

The ICU Liaison Nurse is a clinical expert who works from within the ICU Medical Team to follow up ICU patients once discharged to the ward, and who functions as a resource for medical, nursing and allied health staff working on the general wards, to assist in the management of patients with complex care needs or episodes of patient deterioration.

The ICU provides an ICLS nurse to support the wider hospital seven days a week for eight hours a day. This role aims to better manage the transition of patients from the ICU to the ward and to support the treatment of deteriorating or complex patients in the ward environment, avoiding unnecessary ICU admission, or facilitating their admission to ICU. In this way the ICU liaison nurse acts as a bridge between the skills and resources of the ICU and the ward environment, supporting continuity of care and patient flow. The role also includes MET data review, formal and informal education of ward staff and support for the families of critically ill patients, including end-of-life discussions and palliative care.
