You will be expected to deliver high-quality care to this complex patient group, support patients in their homes and in outlying hospitals, and provide telephone triage, advice, and consultation.
You will play a key role in educating and supporting healthcare professionals, patients, and significant others throughout the patient journey, with the ultimate aim of enhancing quality of life.
