You will have the opportunity to work closely with patients, families, and a multidisciplinary team to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Your responsibilities will include monitoring patients, administering medications, coordinating care plans, and providing support to families/carers during different crisis situations – i.e, blocked catheters and palliative care support.
