Mōu - About You

You will need experience in neurology, sound clinical assessment skills and nursing knowledge and be able to communicate with a vast number of health professionals as well as provide support to patients and their families. As there will be times you will be working autonomously, confidence in your assessments and recommendations to hospital doctors, nurses and other members of the MDT is expected while developing good ongoing relationships. 

If you are a senior nurse with significant experience in neurology, post graduate education and a service improvement skill base – and you have energy and drive to contribute to building services in response to demand, we would love to hear from you!
