Health Care Support Worker AA

Overview

Ward 31 is a 23‑bedded dedicated fracture neck of femur ward and is the only ward of its kind in Scotland. It is a busy, forward‑thinking ward within a diverse directorate, working collaboratively across the Orthopaedic Department. Our patient population is predominantly frail and elderly, many experiencing delirium, dementia and a range of acute medical conditions alongside complex orthopaedic needs. Delivering high‑quality, compassionate, and person‑centred care is central to the work of the ward.
