The Paediatric Clinical Nurse Specialist will be a highly experienced, knowledgeable and educated member of the team who is able to work autonomously, making high level decisions to meet the health needs of the children under our service. Advanced level practice encompasses aspects of education, research and management but is firmly grounded in direct care provision and clinical work with children and families.
