• Prescribe medications in line with practice formulary and national prescribing guidelines.
• Order and interpret diagnostic tests, referring on to secondary care or allied specialists as appropriate.
• Maintain accurate, timely clinical records in the practice's chosen software (e.g. Socrates, Helix Health).
• Ensure continuity of care by liaising with practice GPs and administrative staff regarding follow-up and handover.

• Familiarity with GMS scheme administration and common Irish practice software (Socrates, Helix Health, Health One).
• Experience with minor surgery, women's health, or chronic disease clinics (an advantage but not essential).
• Full driving licence and own transport, where home visits are part of the role.

Person Specification

• Strong clinical judgement and ability to work autonomously with minimal induction time.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to build quick rapport with an unfamiliar patient panel.
• Flexible and adaptable, comfortable adjusting to different practice systems and workflows.
• Reliable and punctual, with clear availability communicated in advance.
• Collaborative approach, willing to liaise with practice staff to ensure safe patient handover.
