You will also engage in service development initiatives aligned with national stroke targets and locally commissioned service improvements. Your involvement in innovation and evidence-based practice will be key to driving the quality and efficiency of stroke services across both hospital sites.
We are committed to promoting diversity and inclusion in our workforce and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, with a special focus on welcoming individuals from disabled, Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities, as well as those from our local area.
