Medicine for the Elderly, General Medicine, Respiratory, Vascular Surgery, Orthopedics, Cardiology, Neurosurgery, Oncology, Acute Stroke/Neurology, NCTR
The post holder will be self motivated and aspirational, be able to assess in an effective and timely manner in a rapid paced environment. Confidence in enabling patients in positive risk taking, personalised care, assessment of capacity, manual handling, functional assessments and knowledge of the SAFER principles will be enhanced and nurtured within this role
