REMEMBER WHY YOU BECAME A NURSE?

Want to get back to delivering truly patient focused care and still have time to enjoy life in a unique setting ?

Set in the South Atlantic Ocean, the Falkland Islands benefits from unique wildlife, negligible pollution, low crime rates, the absence of traffic jams, a varied social calendar and the close proximity of South America and Antarctica as holiday destinations.
Our Health Services are all based in Stanley, (the Islands’ capital). The secondary care element has 29 beds and provides in-patient care to all patients needing admission, whether new-borns or adults, residents or visiting tourists and foreign nationals.

When asked what they enjoy about working in such roles previous post holders have said:

“Being able to nurse in different specialities - this really
would not be possible in the UK”

“Less patient-to-nurse ratio which means more time for
patients and better care delivery”
