Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP)
(PCN Employed)
SESSIONS:
Full Time/ Part Time (Various Roles)
ACCOUNTABLE TO:
Clinical Director Dr T Douglas (Clinically)
PCN Manager Katie Smith (Administratively)
HOSTED BY:
Rother Valley South Primary Care Network
PLACE OF WORK:
Rother Valley South PCN GP Practices
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our multi-disciplinary PCN team.
We are a dynamic, forward thinking PCN team who are passionate about developing and delivering excellent quality local services to meet the needs of our patients.
The PCN has been successful in becoming part of a national pilot scheme which will look at ways to make General Practice Sustainable.
We are therefore looking to expand our team by employing Advanced Nurse Practitioners to work alongside our practices and PCN staff.
Our PCN staff currently includes Clinical Pharmacists, Physicians Associates, Social Prescribers, Paramedics, Physiotherapists, Care Coordinators, Nurse Associates and Pharmacist Technicians.
The Advanced Nurse Practitioner(ANP) has been assessed as competent in practice using their expert clinical knowledge and skills. They have the freedom and authority to act and make autonomous decisions in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of patients.
The ANP provides an opportunity for patients to avoid the need to be referred to a GP, thereby enabling them to receive timely care and negate unnecessary delay in receiving treatment.
ANPs in primary care can develop close, long-term relationships with their patients and work in partnership with them to achieve optimum health. They are autonomous in making decisions based on assessment, diagnosis and interpretation of test results. They can independently prescribe appropriate medication, evaluate or refer to other specialists if necessary.
The post holder will need to be capable of independent travel across the Rother Valley South area and work flexibly to meet the needs of the Business.
