Job overviewAn exciting opportunity is available for an enthusiastic, motivated individual to join our team on Philip ward. Philip ward is a 24 bedded D2A ward.
The world's population is ageing and we are all familiar with the challenges of meeting the needs of the growing number of older people here at University Hospitals of Derby and Burton and we all work tirelessly to ensure the right care and support services are in place when older people need them.
It's important to celebrate longevity and it is equally vital that longevity is coupled with an excellent quality of life and a sense of personal and social well being. Thus, our vision for our patients is they should live long and healthy lives, enjoying an active, fulfilling and independent existence– in which the ageing process becomes a positive rather than a negative experience.
