The Ward incorporates a 6 bedded High Care bay where we provide Non Invasive Ventilation for acute conditions, often pre and post Critical Care.
We have strong links with both the hospital and community Respiratory Nurse Specialists to promote continuity in person centred care.
The applicant will be expected to demonstrate excellent interpersonal skills and will need to provide evidence of continuous professional development.
