Job description

We are seeking a highly skilled and autonomous Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) to join our team for up to 24 hours per week. This role is pivotal in providing high-quality, patient-centred care in a fast-paced, supportive general practice environment., The Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) will utilise advanced clinical knowledge and skills to independently assess, diagnose, treat, prescribe, and provide expert advice to patients through face-to-face consultations, delivering evidence-based care that is safe, effective, and patient-centred. The role includes responsibility for:

• Delivering undifferentiated patient care during morning and afternoon clinical sessions.
• Providing timely follow-up of patients and responding appropriately to ongoing case management requirements.
• Practising autonomously within professional competence, adhering to current NICE guidance, national standards, and best practice.
• Managing complex patient cases, ensuring appropriate clinical pathways are followed and tailored to meet the needs of both patients and the service.
• Independently prescribing medications within scope of practice, ensuring safe, evidence-based prescribing in accordance with current legislation and professional standards.
  As an ANP, you will lead on delivering undifferentiated primary care to a varied patient population, working independently but with access to clinical support from the practice team. The successful candidate will demonstrate excellence in clinical assessment, decision-making, and prescribing, with a commitment to upholding the standards of care and safety expected by Coleridge Medical Centre., Alongside our established in-house ANP service, we are developing an exciting new proactive frailty pathway, focused on early identification, comprehensive assessments, personalised care planning and multidisciplinary working to improve outcomes for our older and more vulnerable patients. This offers a fantastic opportunity for an ANP with an interest or experience in frailty to play a key role in shaping and developing the service from the outset. An interest in frailty is by no means essential, however, and we would equally welcome applications from enthusiastic and experienced ANPs looking for a rewarding, varied role within our general practice team.
  Coleridge Medical Centre is part of The Fuller and Forbes Partnership, a primary care provider with practices currently in Devon, Leeds, Burnley and Gateshead. The practice has approximately 16,000 patients and a multidisciplinary team comprising GPs, ANPs, Nurses, Healthcare Assistants, and a GPA. We strive to fulfil our practice values of approachability, teamwork, communication and respect.
