They work closely with Allied Health Professionals and medical teams leading the planning of complex discharges and on-going community care. They develop skills, knowledge and experience in a wide range of physical conditions and multiple pathologies.

They support Student Nurses and Trainee Nurse Associates to develop our future workforce and have an excellent reputation for their teaching and support.

We offer the chance to develop your professional decision making and complex care management skills as we are a predominantly nurse and therapy led unit.

As one of our team you would develop skills in caring for a wide range of long term conditions preparing you for a career path in many different areas of nursing.

We are committed to your personal professional development and offer a range of preceptorship development courses for newly qualified nurses and further development opportunities in a range of areas for more experienced staff nurses.
