About the Acute Demand service


The Acute Demand programme is a Canterbury wide network of services designed to provide community-based care for patients either at risk of presentation to the Emergency Department, admission to hospital, or able to discharge home with advanced nurse assessments.


The service is designed to:

  • Support and assist general practice teams to help patients who are acutely unwell to remain in their own home for their treatment.
  • Support newly diagnosed Heart Failure patients in the first few weeks to reduce re admission rates to hospital.
  • The service is aimed towards patients who have an acute episode of illness that may otherwise be admitted to hospital.

What you will be doing

As an Acute Demand Registered Nurse, you will work within the Acute Demand Nursing Team delivering both community-based nursing care and treating patients in our clinic based at the 24-Hour Surgery.


Your working day will vary as you:

  • Carry out comprehensive nursing assessments and care plans.
  • Deliver a range of interventions for patients with an acute episode of illness that would typically respond to treatment within 35 days. Such conditions may include cellulitis, urinary retention, respiratory illnesses, and Heart Failure.
  • Work collaboratively with the following teams: general practice, hospital, ambulance, and community services around short term care planning and available treatment options.
  • Confirm with the Acute Demand Liaison Nurses based in the hospital re supported discharge for appropriate patients.
  • Effectively communicate with team members, patients, and their family/whanau. Patient education and health promotion is pivotal to this role.

What you will bring

  • 5+ years' experience as a Registered Nurse
  • To possess broad clinical skills across general practice, acute medicine, or urgent care
  • A high level of interpersonal, teamworking and communications skills
  • You will need to be adaptable and responsive, including the ability to think critically
All applicants must hold a current APC and NZNC Registration.

If you're looking to work in the community, in a dynamic environment, well supported by the medical team at the 24-Hour Surgery, for an organisation which values continuous education and professional development, this will be the role for you.
