The caseload is diverse and engaging, encompassing critical care, diabetes, gastroenterology, eating disorders, neonatology, cystic fibrosis, and nutritional support, often working within multidisciplinary teams. Additionally, there is a significant caseload of home enteral nutrition patients. The role also offers opportunities to conduct audits, provide training to patients, caregivers, and other community professionals, and contribute to service enhancement.
