Why This Role is Different

This role is built for nurses and pharmacists who want:

• To work on NHS Contracted Services within a Primary Care setting
• Remote work without isolation
• Weekly MDT with an GP Clinical Lead and other Clinical Experts.

• Youre paid for your expertise, not for the number of assessments you can cram in.

Realistic templates that respect your clinical brain

• 30 min med initiation
• 10 to 15 min titration reviews

Professional pride and protected thinking space

We encourage CPD, improvement work and evidence-based practice and your voice genuinely matters.
