Being able to make a positive contribution to their experiences keeps us on our toes and ensures the working day is lively and interesting. Our work is mostly outreach, seeing people in their own homes, mixed with outpatient reviews at the clinic.  We are a team of clinicians invested in our work and in supporting each other to offer our best.  We have a wide range of skills to offer and enjoy seeing what new staff can add to the team’s repertoire, particularly if that experience is different to ours.
