The Primary Healthcare Team provides a wide variety of care from initial assessment/screening for all new patients, clinical triage, emergency response, care of minor illness and injuries, nurse-led clinics for long-term conditions and health promotion. We aim to provide healthcare to offenders that is equivalent to those in the community.
Working as part of a fully integrated Healthcare Team you will have the opportunity to make a real difference to our patients, who are often not in receipt of essential healthcare services in the community - for a variety of reasons.
We are able to offer help and support to stabilise long-term conditions, as well as offer treatment on a daily basis for minor injury and illnesses. We support and develop the nursing team to lead on areas of specialty which is of interest to them and can offer additional training as required. We also offer a supportive preceptorship package for newly qualified nurses.
You will work closely with our Prison Officer colleagues to provide a high standard of safe and patient-centred healthcare services.
