• Lead the implementation of specific changes to practice or contribute to the development of service protocols; make recommendations to the clinical lead/manager of the service for practice changes.
• Support and supervise junior staff and students as part of an in‑service training program.
• Undertake evidence‑based audit and research projects to further your own and the team’s clinical practice.
• Assess and manage clinical risk within your own and delegated patient caseloads.
