Job description

Overview

What if you could improve the way you deliver urgent care to your patients and at the same time improve your career prospects? When you join the multidisciplinary team in our Out Of Hours service (located in various sites across Surrey and Guildford, Woking and Epsom) as self-employed or bank, Practice Plus Group welcomes you to a new model of Integrated Urgent Care that reduces pressures on services and staff. By bringing together NHS 111 call centres, clinical assessment and other urgent care services, we enable patients to access the right care, when they need it. This is an ideal opportunity for an ambitious and committed Advanced Nurse Practitioner who can independently prescribe, to simplify and speed up the way patients receive care by assessing them, planning their care, administering treatment and discharging or referring them to other healthcare professionals or external agencies, via primary care centres and home visits. You will also be using our electronic prescribing system.

Based in our various Out Of Hours (OOH) services, you’ll be working autonomously within your sphere of competency as part of a friendly and close-knit multi-skilled team that includes GPs, registered nurses, UCPs, mental health and dental nurses, prescribing pharmacists and pharmacy advisors. We can offer this role as either bank or self-employed.

• Be able to incorporate the nurses role in health education within the unscheduled care environment.
• Maintain and develop clinical competence and knowledge of care delivery within PCC setting using both formal and informal training methods.
• Work closely with medical practitioners in the provision of quality, evidence-based care to patients within the PCC setting or in patients own home.
• Additional for Advanced Nurse Practitioners: Hold a virtual caseload and be accountable for delivery and integrated, quality patient care working autonomously.
• Take a lead role in the provision of Palliative care and other specialist nursing services within the unscheduled care environment.
• Provide holistic patient care from assessment of presenting condition through to diagnosis and initial treatment including the prescription of medication within agreed clinical guidelines and protocols.
• Hold a Nurse prescribing certificate and be competent to prescribe for patients whilst working autonomously.
