Sexual & Reproductive Health Nurse - Pelvic Pain Clinic
This is a new part-time nursing role in the newly establishing pelvic pain & endometriosis clinic and program at SHFPACT.

The position will work as part of a multidisciplinary team of medical officers, nurses, health educators, and others to:
- educate and help consumers to better understand health conditions associated with pelvic pain and endometriosis and enable them to better self-manage symptoms (health education) and participate in decisions about their health care and improve control over their own health outcomes (health promotion)
- assist consumers to navigate complex health system pathways more effectively (empowerment and systems navigation)
- improve health workforce knowledge, capacity and evidence-based responsiveness to people who experience pelvic pain and care pathways for endometriosis (workforce development)
- improve community awareness of pelvic pain conditions and appropriate health care pathways (health literacy)
- support high quality healthcare provision for pelvic pain in SHFPACT clinical services (client-centred care)
