Lying off the northern coast of Scotland, between John O’Groats and the Shetland Isles, Orkney is an archipelago of over 70 beautiful islands, 17 of which are inhabited. The excellent ferry and air connections make travel to the Scottish mainland, Aberdeen, Inverness, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Shetland, and even Norway quite easy. There is a rich archaeological history to be explored, as well as many outdoor pursuits, including diving in Scapa Flow, kayaking, walking, cycling, bird watching, and many more. Orcadian culture is rich, with music and arts and crafts well represented. The St Magnus Music Festival in June is internationally renowned.

The Clinical Education Facilitator (CEF) will support nurses and midwives to meet standards set out by Professional and Regulatory bodies through clinical education and clinical practice development.
