- Telephone consultations both for acute triage and planned care.
- Checking and signing repeat prescriptions electronically.
- Prescribe generically whenever appropriately and in accordance with the Practice prescribing formulary, NICE guidance and Good Prescribing Practice.
- Dealing with queries, paperwork and correspondence as required including clinical administration and private report writing when agreed.
- Make professional, autonomous decisions in relation to presenting problems.
- Screen patients for disease risk factors and early signs of illness.
- Clinical management of the patients in a care home setting as appropriate including initiating investigations, reviewing results, making referrals to secondary care or to other providers as appropriate.
