Summary
Please note: This role does not meet the minimum criteria for visa sponsorship under the current UK immigration rules, which set specific salary and skill thresholds. As such, we are unable to provide sponsorship for this post. Applicants will therefore need to already have the right to work in the UK to be considered. We include this information at the outset to provide clarity and avoid unnecessary inconvenience for applicants. If you are applying using a Graduate visa as your right to work, you must have a minimum of 18 months remaining on your visa at time of application. Form constructive and effective working relationships with patients, consultants, medical secretaries, bed manager, transport, GP surgeries, ward staff, porters, rehabilitation nurses, heart failure nurses and arrhythmia nurses. Communicate complex information to staff, patients and relatives regarding tests. Instruct patients regarding tests and equipment in order to obtain best results. Reassure, empathise and tactfully persuade patients, some of whom may have barriers to understanding. Deal with angry or aggressive patients. Train other staff in tests undertaken. Deal with telephone queries from patients, staff and other departments and direct them to the appropriate person/department where necessary. Promote a pleasant and efficient image with internal and external organisations.
