About The Role
What if you could improve the way you deliver urgent care to your patients - and at the same time improve your career prospects? When you join the multidisciplinary team in our Out Of Hours service - as self-employed or bank.
As the largest independent provider of NHS services, Practice Plus Group is delivering a new model of Integrated Urgent Care that reduces pressures on services and staff. By bringing together NHS 111 call centres, clinical assessment and other urgent care services, we enable patients to access the right care, when they need it. It's better for everyone.
This is an ideal opportunity for an ambitious and committed Advanced Nurse Practitioner who can independently prescribe. It's a chance to simplify and speed up the way patients receive care - by assessing them, planning their care, administering treatment and discharging or referring them to other healthcare professionals or external agencies, via primary care centres and home visits. You will also be using our electronic prescribing system.
Based in our various Out Of Hours (OOH) services, you'll be working autonomously within your sphere of competency as part of a friendly and close-knit multi-skilled team that includes GPs, registered nurses, UCPs, mental health and dental nurses, prescribing pharmacists and pharmacy advisors.
What you'll be doing:
* Facilitate clear patient pathways through primary, community, secondary and tertiary care.
* Take a person centred approach to service delivery, based on clear understanding and experience of the modes for service delivery.
* Be responsible and accountable for assessing health and/or social needs of patients within the PCC setting, using agreed clinical protocols and clinical guidelines software.
* Incorporate the nurse's role in health education within the unscheduled care environment.
* Maintain and develop clinical competence and knowledge of care delivery within PCC setting using both formal and informal training methods.
* Work closely with medical practitioners in the provision of quality, evidence-based care to patients within the PCC setting or in patients' own homes.
What we'll look for in you:
* RGN.
* Degree level/Postgraduate level ANP qualification.
* Recognised Nurse Prescribing Qualification.
* Experience of working independently within Nurse Practitioner/Specialist role.
* Experience of patient contact services and/or primary care nursing.
* Recent experience of face-to-face patient care.
* Evidence of recent study (PREP).
* Postgraduate, e.g. ENB 998/Teaching/Mentorship course.
* ILS/BLS.
* Eager to teach both formally and informally.
* Five years recent experience in acute/primary care nursing.
