Nurse Prescriber
Greenhouse Practice is a general practice managed by the East London Foundation Trust (ELFT). It registers patients who are homeless (this encompasses street homeless, hostel dwellers, those in temporary accommodation and those who have no secure housing). Patients register with the practice and are offered a full range of primary care services. The practice is responsible for the delivery of primary care both in the practice and in an outreach setting. In an outreach setting, the practice provides clinics in temporary accommodation settings such as hotels, hostels and shelters looking after a combination of rough sleepers and vulnerably housed service users. We also provide clinics and sessions on a bus in the City & Hackney area where our clinical team will be required to work on a rota basis.
Nurse Prescriber requires a combination of working in the practice and providing outreach sessions for the practice in an integrated care setting. This will ensure that we can deliver an integrated care model with continuity of care to a population facing many inequalities. The successful candidate will be part of the Greenhouse team working to tackle these inequalities and will be working closely alongside The Greenhouse Team which includes GPs, lead Nurse and HCAs.
