  • The candidate will provide care to patients in the on the inpatient wards, the intensive care unit,

    services, the NP/PA will be a critical part of service continuity and also a link between the inpatient and outpatient environments for
    patients.
  • The census and acuity of clinical practice varies from service to service and NP/PAs may at times be asked to provide
    cross coverage clinical care on different services to deal with this issue. Work Location:
