Working as a competent registered nurse you will provide full, accurate and comprehensive anaesthetic assessments of patients' suitability for surgery, (predominantly Orthopaedic, ENT and Gynaecology,) in accordance with Trust standards and protocols.

Main duties of the job

As an autonomous practitioner you will be expected to manage your patient workload each day, referring patients for ongoing investigations, back to General Practitioner for further Consultant Anaesthetic review, or pass fit to proceed to surgery.
