He/she will liaise with other members of the multi-disciplinary team which includes 2 CHI specialist nurses, dietitians, speech and language therapists, clinical psychologists, surgeons, NORCHI administrator, nuclear medicine, radiologists, and histopathologists. Other duties include supervision of ST1-3 on the ward and day case unit and clinical administrative duties.
Opportunities will exist for flexibility in the weekly timetable and to develop protocol-driven care pathways and participate in governance activity to improve the quality of the service.
