  • Ownership and accountability: follows every query through and does what they say they will do
  • Attention to detail: accurate in checks, records and information given to patients
  • Judgement and boundaries: knows what is and is not within the role and escalates at the right time
  • Integrity and confidentiality: handles sensitive health and personal information with care
  • Teamwork: works collaboratively with colleagues and clinicians in a fast-paced environment
