Our Acute Care Team is made up of a GP and Advanced Nurse Practitioners. We are in the process of having a new suite built within the surgery to allow the team to work in close proximity.
The main duties will include assessing and diagnosing patients presenting with acute issues, either face to face, by telephone or any other methods as appropriate.
You will also assist the nursing team with patients who have presented with issues beyond those that they feel competent to manage.
We are recruiting for a full time Advanced Nure Practitioner to join our newly formed Acute Care team. We will also accept part time or job shares. We will consider a recently qualified Advanced Nurse Practitioner if they are right for the role but they will need to have some previous experience of minor illnesses and acute care.
They will provide assessment and care of acutely presenting patients within the practice.
They will be able to work autonomously within the scope of their experience and qualifications but will have the support and supervision of the doctors within the practice. This includes appointments within the surgery as well as on occasion, visits to patients in their own homes or nursing/residential homes where required.
They will recognise and work within their own competence and professional code of conduct as regulated by the NMC. In order to work at this level NMC requirements for advanced clinical practice must be met.
The Grove Medical Centre is a large dispensing practice based in Sherborne with around 13,000 registered patients. We are a friendly, hardworking team who put patient care first, with every department always willing to help each other out to deliver the best possible care. We have a fantastic clinical team of GPs, Nurses and Healthcare Assistants who are supported by our Dispensary, Patient Services, Care Coordinator and Administration teams.
