Are you a highly motivated individual with high standards of evidence based, holistic, patient centred care, and experience of acting as a primary or associate nurse with or without direct supervision within our ICU and HDU?

In this role you will deliver direct patient care in liaison with the senior nurse on duty and also be required to be the experienced nurse within the HDU to ensure the effective running of the area.
