During weekdays, we have daily team rounds and work closely with other professionals in a multidisciplinary team to meet the patient's needs for both medical care, nursing, and rehabilitation.

There is also the opportunity to further your studies to become a specialist nurse in Neuroscience when you have gained more experience.
