Boards listen to their Council of Governors and respond to the needs of their members – patients, staff and the local community.
Foundation trusts provide what the health service wants, yet are also free to invest quickly in the changes to the local community needs, in striving to be the best, and in putting their patients first.
Main duties include:
Effective infection control, clinic preparation and set up.
Chaperoning patients, supporting Drs in clinic and patients during procedures.
Cleaning and decontamination of equipment and nasendoscopes.
Completion of relevant patient documentation.
