An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Minor Injury Practitioner to work in our unit at Launceston Hospital.
This is a Band 6 post, and we are interested in interviewing both Practitioners who can work in an advanced practice role, including minor illness and paediatrics at Band 6 level, and Aspiring Practitioners with an urgent care background who are already undertaking or have nearly completed a relevant minor injuries and illness course.
You need to have a passion for minor injury care, good communication skills, and a commitment to providing excellent care as part of the MIU team. Flexibility and responsiveness to change are essential, as we are in an exciting period of development for the MIU service. A sound knowledge of professional issues is also required.
As part of a small team, flexibility is vital to ensure continuous service provision.
Your responsibilities include:
1. Delivering effective assessment and treatment of patients independently, utilizing evidence-based approaches.
2. Managing patient care needs, treatment plans, and evaluating clinical interventions to meet the needs of patients attending the unit.
3. Being responsible and accountable for the delivery of patient care within the unit.
We are part of an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Our services aim to improve physical and mental health, including support for people with dementia or learning disabilities.
We value our staff and are committed to supporting the health and wellbeing of the community we serve. Our team comprises over 4,000 staff, including doctors, nurses, therapists, and support staff, working across homes, community clinics, bases, and hospitals.
Our region has a population of just over 532,000 residents, with many visitors during holidays, increasing service demand. We collaborate closely with partners in Devon to provide comprehensive care.
