Choosing your speciality!
This is your chance to join our Neuroscience Team
Neuroscience manages the care of complex neurological conditions, including stroke requiring hyper acute management, head injury, Parkinson's, Multiple sclerosis, MND and many more. We also provide care for patients with Tracheostomy/Laryngectomy.
Heydon Ward works very closely with our Ingham Ward, with the more hyper acute care for stroke being managed on Heydon before moving through to Ingham. It is essential that the 2 areas work closely together to support the patient pathway and staffing model.
Work with all members of the Ward/Department clinical team within the multi- disciplinary framework. Maintain a high standard of patient care under the direction of the Ward/Department Sister/Charge Nurse.
Please read the attached job description/person specification for more information.
