The ideal candidate for this role will need to be able to focus and concentrate for long periods of time as patient journeys are never the same and differ in their levels of complexity.
The ability to adapt and learn is important as the NMTR is constantly evolving.
An enquiring mind with an interest in the human body would find this role extremely engaging as there is always something new to learn.
