You will be an experienced RGN, able to lead and assess the nursing team, building on your own clinical and managerial experience.
You will assist with the development and implementation of menopause clinics, and provide ongoing support and lifestyle advice to menopause patients on an outpatient basis through one‑to‑one and group sessions. You will undertake patient assessments and run nurse‑led clinics focusing on a holistic approach to menopause care.
