A particularly high level of support is provided to critical care areas such as ICU, operating theatres, neonatal intensive care, coronary care areas, where the potential for patient harm is greater. Clinical Engineering also has a lead role in safety critical areas when medical equipment is used. This includes: the adaptation of existing equipment; investigation of adverse incidents (adverse events and near misses involving medical equipment) and initiating appropriate action; determining necessary action required following receipt of DoH Safety Notices and ensuring that the work is completed; contribution to the training of clinical staff in the safe use of medical equipment. ### Main duties of the job Applications are welcomed from candidates who do not currently hold formal registration, or who are working towards technician-level competence, where they can demonstrate the required values, aptitude, experience, and ability to meet the relevant essential criteria.
