Job description
The Visiting Clinician will play an important role in delivering high-quality, patient-centred care to patients within their own homes, with a particular focus on housebound, frail, vulnerable and clinically complex individuals. The role is designed to support patients who may otherwise struggle to access care, helping them maintain independence, improve wellbeing and receive the right care at the right time.
