Description

Please note that this post will be based at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital

As part of a dedicated AHP Therapy team the post holder will be allocated a delegated patient caseload by the qualified AHP and be expected to work independently, assessing the patient's care needs and/or modifying existing treatment plans and delivering this care without supervision.

This includes progressing patients, reassessing and discharging within the scope of practice.

Support qualified AHP staff, by taking an active clinical role within the specialist clinical area as guided by evidence based protocols produced by the registered practitioner.

To support efficient service delivery, the practitioner will delegate tasks to others in the team and maximise the use of technology (e.g. telehealth) and adopt new ways of working.
