* Arranging and managing medical evacuations and repatriations, including opportunities to accompany patients as a flight nurse on international missions.
* Supporting internal quality improvement and clinical governance projects to enhance patient care and operational efficiency.
You’ll work closely with doctors, coordinators, and administrators within a supportive, multidisciplinary environment that values teamwork and professional excellence.
