Job summary

Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of patients with cardiac conditions? Do you thrive in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment?

In this exciting and rewarding role, you will work closely with our experienced multidisciplinary team, including specialist cardiac nurses and healthcare professionals. Ward 23 cares for patients with acute coronary syndrome, heart arrhythmias, post-cardiac arrest recovery and heart failure.
