To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.

An exciting prospect has arisen for an experienced and motivated Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) with a specialist interest in frailty to join our team at Caithness General Hospital.

This is a rewarding role for a skilled practitioner who is passionate about delivering high-quality, person-centred care to older adults. You will play a key role in assessing, managing, and improving outcomes for patients living with frailty, contributing to the development of responsive, sustainable services in a remote and rural healthcare setting.
