Key Responsibilities

• Lead care for a defined cohort of high‑risk patients across the community, care homes, and practice settings.
• Provide advanced assessment, diagnosis, and prescribing where qualified.
• Support, mentor, and educate colleagues within the practice and wider primary care team.
• Ensure care is safe, high‑quality, and compliant with professional and organisational standards.

Full details of all responsibilities are provided in the Job Description.
