If you have that combination, we want to hear from you.If your background is primarily in one domain -- whether that is capital and market knowledge gained from within NHS clinical engineering, or via commercial medical equipment sales -- but you have the ability, drive, and self-awareness to develop across the full scope
of the role, we are equally interested.
