Job overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen for qualified Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) who have recent experience in Primary Care to work in our Urgent Treatment Centre.
We require a forward thinking, well organised and motivated individual with a positive attitude.
Interested applicants must be a qualified ACP and hold core advanced practice competencies. Working as an Independent Non-Medical Prescriber is essential.
The Advanced Clinical Practitioner will use specialist knowledge and skills to provide healthcare independently to patients.

Main duties of the job
The post holder will be practicing in an independent manner within the Urgent Treatment Centre to provide patient-centred quality care for those patients with primary care presentations. This will encompass the skills of history taking, extended assessment, examination, diagnosis and treatment within an agreed extended scope of practice while providing definitive care with limited requirement for supervision.
