Wondering what its like to work within offender healthcare?
Working in the prison service can seems scary at first but you'll have the support you need from your team to make a difference every day.
I see the prison as an individual community where I work with a variety of people and provide urgent care, routine health screens like a GP practice and complex needs care to the patients. I have the unique opportunity to support someone throughout their time in prison and make a significant difference to their lives. Furthermore, see them grow, change and improve their general health." Ellen, Clinical Lead, + To support the delivery of an effective integrated healthcare service clinical model.
