• Excellent clinical assessment skills and the confidence to recognise and appropriately escalate potential risks
• The ability to provide clinical guidance and support to colleagues
• A commitment to maintaining high standards of patient safety and quality of care
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to reassure and support patients throughout the pre-operative process
• The ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team
• A proactive approach to problem-solving and the day-to-day delivery of the service

• A warm, empathetic and patient-focused manner
