The Role
We are inviting nursing applicants to join our experienced teams of Diabetes specialist staff based in University Hospital Hairmyres & University Hospital Wishaw, although this post will be based solely in the surrounding community areas.

The post-holder will also be part of a wider pan-Lanarkshire multi-disciplinary adult Diabetes service, including specialist dietetic, podiatry and medical staff. There will be extensive in-house training and education provided to support the development of our new member of staff, and we would recommend that they contact the service for more information and a possible visit with our team.
