* Ensure rehabilitation services follow clinical governance standards, evidence-based protocols, patient safety requirements, and applicable healthcare regulations.
* Maintain accurate clinical documentation, rehabilitation goals, progress notes, care plans, functional assessments, discharge summaries, and follow-up recommendations.
* Contribute to departmental development, service improvement initiatives, staff training, patient pathway enhancement, and quality review activities.
* Stay updated with advancements in rehabilitation medicine, assistive technology, neurorehabilitation, musculoskeletal care, pain rehabilitation, and functional recovery techniques.
