You’ll also need a full UK Driving License; we’ll provide a company car, fuel card, and a lunch allowance when you’re in the field.

Role Focus:

1. To develop and deliver comprehensive training to patients, carers, and HCPs to support safe discharges from the hospital, as well as ongoing training for quality care at home.
2. Complete regular patient reviews and be on hand to support with questions, issues, and troubleshooting requests.
3. To assist in preventing unnecessary hospital stays, including tube changes within the Community.

2. Your clear understanding of the UK Healthcare Market, including the NHS.
3. How you’ve used your excellent communication skills with internal and external stakeholders, including patients and HCPs.
