Job Summary
Middleton & Hunslet PCN is seeking an Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) to join our multi-disciplinary and multi-agency team of professionals for one day per week (7.5 hours per week).

Main Duties of the Job
The role will operate across the traditional health and social care organisational boundaries. We are looking for an Advanced Clinical Practitioner with a strong interest in working in Primary Care who aspires to provide a continuous improvement approach to delivering responsive, safe, patient-centred, and effective care within a team.
About Us
Primary Care Networks (PCNs) form a key building block of the NHS long-term plan. Bringing general practices together to work at scale has been a policy priority for some years for a range of reasons, including improving the ability of practices to recruit and retain staff; to manage financial and estates pressures; to provide a wider range of services to patients and to integrate with the wider health and care system more easily. PCNs were formally ratified in July 2019. Middleton and Hunslet PCN is a large PCN with a patient list size of circa 33,000 patients. We currently provide clinical support to 10 Care Homes, with a population of around 360 beds. We have a significant workforce in place which brings wonderful opportunities for in-house multi-disciplinary team working.
