  • Supporting patient care and service delivery.
  • Participate in the writing of Protocols pertaining to the role.
  • On call out of hours commitment, including weekends, bank holidays and overnight.

  These duties are not exhaustive of the job role but give a good indication of the expectations of the post holder.

• About the company

  National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
