You will work collaboratively with patients, families, carers and a wide range of professionals, including the ward-based MDT, ensuring every person receives compassionate, coordinated and effective care.
Your expertise in related risk assessment will enable you to develop thoughtful, person-centred treatment and risk management plans that support safe care, promote recovery and contribute to well-planned, hopeful discharge pathways.
