  • Actively participating in initiatives to prevent venous thromboembolism and contribute to the Trust's risk assessment and thromboprophylaxis strategies.
  • Overseeing and mentoring Band 6 CNSs and administrative personnel.
  • Assisting the Lead CNS and Haematology Consultant in the development and enhancement of services.
