Do you have level 7 minor injury/illness qualifications with proven experience at band 6 in an urgent care centre/MIU/Emergency Department? Are you looking for a change? Would you like the opportunity to extend your Advanced practice skills? We could be for you!
Main duties of the job
Our Minor Injury Units treat approximately 4000 patients across the Service per month, making a real difference, providing care closer to home and avoiding admission to hospital wherever possible and appropriate. Our GP Out of Hours services supports the management of acute primary care illness when the GP surgeries are closed. The role includes telephone triage, base visit and home visiting.
As a Specialist Emergency Practitioner, you will be a Registered Nurse or Paramedic with the skills to autonomously assess and treat patients in the Urgent Care bases. You will have excellent clinical assessment and decision-making skills along with a passion to provide patient centred care.

We will encourage you to further develop your skills through a supportive programme of training and education including Non-Medical prescribing and L7 leadership with a tailored development plan and competence portfolio of practice.
You will be working across a shift system which includes weekends, bank holidays and nights. We are happy to consider full or part time hours both on a permanent basis.
