An exciting Band 6 nursing opportunity has arisen in Wythenshawe Orthopedic Fracture Clinic. Energy, enthusiasm and drive is required to work in this service. The department treats patients with a range of orthopedic conditions and complex wounds.

We pride ourselves in offering a high standard of care with an individualized patient approach. We are always striving to improve the way we work and seek out feedback from service users to help shape our service improvements.
Main duties of the job
