These include the medical and surgical admission units, the emergency department and the Acute Frailty Unit. The team currently works 12.5 hour shifts, providing cover 365 days a year from 7am-7.30pm, but this may be subject to change, so flexibility of working is a requirement for this post.
For further information or to arrange a visit please contact Lisa Wood, Clinical Nurse Manager on ext 20083 or Lorna Brocklesby, Occupational Therapy Manager on ext 21646.
