The post holder will be an experienced registered nurse, acting within professional boundaries, providing leadership, and ensuring adherence to the clinical governance framework standards within the clinics.
You will care for patients within the clinics, from initial assessment, administration of prescribed medication, monitoring health and well-being—including physical health interventions—and evaluating care.
