- Assess patients’ physical, psychological and social needs and undertake Holistic Needs Assessments (HNA), developing personalised care plans.

- Work autonomously, managing your own caseload and contributing to nurse-led clinics.
- Work closely with consultants and the multidisciplinary team to provide coordinated, evidence-based care.
- Actively participate in MDT meetings and contribute to the development of effective treatment pathways.
