You will work closely with the Paediatric Diabetes team, Dietitians and other professionals in both acute and primary care.

FGH and the RLI have a range of General Hospital services, with full Emergency Departments, Critical/Coronary Care units and various Consultant-led services.
Ability to travel between the Trust sites as required
