You will have the ability to prioritise and triage the needs of patients, making any referrals for further investigations where appropriate in line with local and practice guidelines, whilst ensuring your clinical practice is safe and effective.

The postholder will lead in the management of the respiratory caseload and the supervision and education of the rest of the H@H Team in the management of this caseload of patients.
