You will seek and maintain communication with other local organisations, for example, Higher Education Institutions and Health Education England, contributing to curriculum developments in the field of LTV Care.

You will work with clinical teams across the region to identify patient specific gaps in knowledge and skills and offer support to improve patient flow and experience when moving from PICU to ward/home.
