This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Advanced Nurse Practitioner to support patients with urgent on-the-day care needs in the local community. This ANP role will support the General Practitioners and the Multi-disciplinary Team to deliver safe, effective and person-centred care to patients in a primary care setting. Successful applicants may work in GP practices, visit residents in care homes or attend to patients in their own homes. There is also a commitment to the Four Pillars of Advanced Practice, allowing for the development of skills in education, mentoring, audit, leadership, and quality improvement.
You will therefore be required to be working in an Advanced Practice role and should preferably have undertaken MSC (level 11) Advance Practice studies to PG Dip level or equivalent. Partly-qualified practitioners working in a practitioner role may be considered but must hold at least a Clinical Assessment module plus Non-medical Prescribing.
You will require excellent communication skills and be able to work as a member of the wider Health and Social Care Team. You should have the ability to work autonomously, utilising your own initiative, clinical judgement and decision making to support the nursing workforce within the practices.
This is an opportunity to join a dynamic team, with quality at the heart of all we do.
You may, on occasion, be required to work in an area other than those to which you are allocated.
A requirement of this post is to become a member of the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme prior to appointment.
NHS Scotland is reducing their full-time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part-time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37-hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Recruiting Board.
