• Ensuring all relevant clinical information and documentation is completed accurately
• Providing reassurance, information and support to patients

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Confidence working independently as well as part of a wider clinical team
• A professional, reliable and patient-focused approach
• Good organisational and documentation skills
• The ability to work effectively within a busy clinical setting
•  

Previous ophthalmic or cataract experience would be advantageous, although nurses with strong surgical and Pre-Op Assessment experience are encouraged to apply.

This is an important requirement, as SpaMedica needs nurses who can commit to the training and become confident with the service, clinical processes and patient pathway.

Please only apply if you are able to meet this commitment.
