We are looking for an experienced and motivated Clinical Nurse Specialist to join our Pituitary Service at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery. This is an exciting opportunity to play a central role in the care of patients with pituitary and related skull base conditions, supporting them across the full pathway from referral and investigation through surgery and long term follow up. The post holder will work as part of a highly specialised multidisciplinary team, providing expert clinical support, coordination and advice in both inpatient and outpatient settings, including nurse led clinics and telephone support.
