As an Urgent Care Practitioner, you will be expected to assess all patients of all ages and provide the right management or referral. You must be reliable and dependable, passionate and committed to delivering high-quality health care in an out-of-hours (OOH) environment. If you have advanced Physical assessment (level 6 or above), minor illness course (level 6 or above), and palliative care/end-of-life care experience and would like to join our professional team, then we would love to hear from you. As we provide an OOH service, you must be willing to work evenings and weekends.
Main Duties of the Job
This role is particularly suited to an experienced autonomous clinician who has undertaken core modules of advanced practice within the Specialist Paramedic or Nurse/Paramedic Practitioner program or an experienced Nurse/Paramedic who has additional training in assessing minor illness and physical assessment. This is an opportunity like no other, one that makes a difference to patients that require urgent care or deteriorate during the OOH period. You will receive a full induction and be supported by a Clinical Lead.
