You will act independently to plan, deliver, monitor and evaluate complex care using enhanced clinical assessments, diagnostics, and interventions.

As a specialist in the field, you will create and deliver education and training opportunities for others within own scope of practice while promoting and encouraging innovative clinical practice to support a culture of excellence.
