The post holder will be involved in delivering a daily Lung Defence Support Service, in close collaboration with the clinical team, to enable patients to access care and advice and treatments to manage their chest exacerbations.
The post holder will also assist the Band 7 Nurse in delivering an Immunoglobulin home therapy training programme and continuing care for Immunology patients.
They will be expected to assist in maintaining local and National Immunology databases.
There will be opportunities to be involved in service audits and developments within the CCLI Team.
