In collaboration with a registered nurse you may be responsible for caring for a group of patients, patient admission and discharge, medication administration, wound care, pre‐ and post‐operative care and liaising with medical staff and other health professionals. You will have the opportunity to continually develop, improve and promote best‐evidence‐based practice.
