Job description

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. As the largest independent provider of NHS services, Practice Plus Group is delivering 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. It’s better for everyone.

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.
