DTU Practitioner - Stamford | North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust

The Band 5 Registered Practitioner requires a broad knowledge and skill base including communication and team working skills, in order that they contribute to the smooth running of the DTU. The Band 5 Registered Practitioner will actively seek out learning opportunities for both self and others, providing support and assessment to junior members of the team and other learners. The Band 5 DTU Practitioner will work in each speciality/area in order to gain experience and to develop the necessary skills to participate effectively in the service as required. As with all other members of staff the Band 5 DTU Practitioner must perform within their scope of practice and not exceed the boundaries of competence. They will remain accountable for their actions and omissions. In the absence of senior staff, the Band 5 DTU Practitioner will oversee the running of the department, whilst promoting a positive standard of healthcare to patients, relatives, carers and staff. The Registered Practitioner will supervise juniors/learners, support them and offer feedback on performance as necessary.
