We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Orthopaedic Scrub Nurse to join the assembling team for our New Day Case Unit- Glendon Wood

The day case facility will provide 2 x laminar flow theatres, endoscopy suite, an ambulatory service, static CT, MRI, X-Ray & Ultrasound, 6 Consulting Rooms, and 1 Treatment Room.
