The post holder must be clinically competent and professionally registered (e. g. , GMC specialist register, NMC, HCPC) and meet Trust standards for revalidation, CPD, supervision, and appraisal. The clinical component is substantive, not honorary, and the post holder is expected to deliver direct patient care.
