• Patient Engagement: Encourage patients and carers to regain and maintain independence.
• Leadership: Lead changes in clinical practices, initiate multidisciplinary meetings, and manage team appraisals.
• Service Development: Participate in policy development, monitor service standards, deliver training, and propose service delivery improvements.
