Clinical Practitioner (Prescriber or Non-Prescriber)

Description:

This exciting, variable, and autonomous role requires the post holder to work effectively within their professional boundaries, focusing on the management of routine and urgent patient needs. The post holder will be responsible for the safe application of:

• History taking

• Clinical Assessment (remote and face to face)

• Critical thinking and decision making

• Diagnosis

• Treatment (including prescribing where able) 

• Non-prescribers will be supported with prescribing requirements via the Clinical Co-ordinator in IUC or prescribing colleagues in all other clinical areas

• Management (including safety netting)

• Referral

The Clinical Practitioner will provide exemplary care for their patients, priding themselves on meeting population health needs. This will include consultation with patients who have reached a range of dispositions from 111 including primary care (1 ,2 -,6 -,12- and 24-hour timescales), 999, Emergency Department and Emergency Treatment Centre as well as those who present to practices with routine or urgent needs. BrisDoc practice services specialise in providing high quality and accessible health care to vulnerable, marginalised and excluded groups.

Clinicians will need to be focused on improving health inclusion and removing barriers to holistic healthcare. Clinicians will be expected to consult and liaise with other community-based HCPs such as GPs, Paramedics and Nurses about patient management, admission avoidance and, where necessary, admission into secondary care.

While working autonomously and potentially in isolation, the post holder will work collaboratively with the wider clinical team (Nurses, Pharmacists, Paramedics, GPs, Consultants, Mental Health Practitioners, Operational Colleagues, and others) to support individual patients and the delivery of the right care first time.

BrisDoc are passionate about inclusion and diversity, welcoming applications from individuals of diverse background, as well as personal and career development and so all colleagues are encouraged and fully supported to work towards clinical development aspirations such as prescribing (where not already held), CPD to safely increase their professional boundaries or even ACP status. Supervision and development time is offered flexibly to all clinical staff.

Benefits:

• 25 days’ annual leave + Bank Holidays (pro rata) rising to 27 with length of service

• NHS Pension

• Annual performance bonus scheme

• Annual training bonus scheme

• Co-owners bonus scheme

• Development opportunities
