An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Nurse Practitioner/Trainee Nurse Practitioner within the Pre-assessment suite at Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy. We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced nurse to support the Senior Charge Nurse in delivering a clinically effective service preparing patients for admission for surgery.
