• Demonstrated ability to provide safe, evidence-based nursing care within a multidisciplinary healthcare environment.
• Strong communication, observation and clinical judgement skills, with a commitment to person-centred care.
• A collaborative mindset and dedication to professional development, quality improvement and patient safety.
