• Undertake home visits to patients requiring assessment or treatment in their own residence, offering a personalized and compassionate approach.
• Manage telephone triage, providing expert clinical advice, risk assessment, and directing patients to appropriate care pathways.
• Work autonomously while collaborating closely with a multidisciplinary team to ensure seamless, patient-centred care.
• Maintain accurate clinical records and adhere to Practice Plus Group policies and NHS guidelines to uphold high standards of care.

What we’ll look for in you

• Registered Nurse with MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice or equivalent
• Experience within Out of Hours, Primary Care GP Surgery, or Urgent Treatment Centre
• Holder of V300 / Non-Medical Prescribing qualification and minimum 6 months experience post qualification.
