WHAT IS A TYPICAL DAY?
I work independently so I plan my own schedule, but a clinical day would be seeing patients who have been referred to me with the nurse in their surgery in Portsmouth. We undertake a full holistic leg assessment, including Doppler together, agree the priorities of care, triage if needed, and refer on. Once the day is over, I come home and write the reports and recommendations for ongoing treatment, etc. Other days are carrying out education and training.
