Lincolnshire Community Health Service NHS Trust
We are looking to recruit a Senior Urgent Care Practitioner to work at Stamford GP OOHs delivering consultations using face-to-face assessment, telephone triage, or video consultation, and occasionally home visiting. We seek dynamic individuals with recognized qualifications and experience in minor illness and/or experience working in GP practice, which will complement our existing team of GPs and Health Care Support Workers.
Main Duties of the Job
Main duties will include delivering an Out of Hours service for minor illness assessment and treatment to cover Stamford GP Out of Hours and occasionally work at Spalding Urgent Treatment Centre.
Stamford GP Out of Hours provides an appointment service from 7 PM - 10 PM Monday to Friday and 8 AM - 10 PM at weekends and bank holidays.
Responsibilities include seeing, treating, managing, discharging, and/or referring patients of all age ranges to other LCHS services or partner services across Lincolnshire.
Successful candidates will need to demonstrate that they can meet the essential criteria in the person specification and provide evidence of experience in the treatment of minor illness and minor injury. It is preferable for candidates to hold a non-medical prescribing qualification.
We are looking for individuals who can demonstrate the right values and behaviors, along with excellent leadership and communication skills.
If you fit this description and have the motivation and flexibility to join this evolving service, this is an excellent opportunity to join a highly skilled team to provide quality care.
