You will encourage the development of a learning culture where both education and lifelong learning are seen as integral to clinical practice and will positively contribute to the development of a workforce fit for purpose.
Under the leadership of the Practice Development Team, you will use your initiative, analytical skills and judgement to ensure a quality learning environment is maintained.
