You will assess individual patient needs, initiate appropriate investigations, determine differential diagnoses and commence holistic, evidence-based treatment and care.

You will play a key role in supporting safe clinical decision-making, promoting patient independence, reducing unnecessary hospital admission and supporting timely discharge from hospital. The post holder will also act as a positive role model for staff, demonstrating high standards of clinical practice, professionalism, communication and compassionate care.
