We look after each other because happy people give the best care. Every win, big or small, matters – it's someone's progress. And even when things get tough, we'll always be kind, always listen and always respect.
• To provide clinical, research and administrative support to the psychology staff in the FOLS team, under their direct guidance and supervision, in order to assist in providing and monitoring the service provision within the Service Line.
