Due to maternity leave, we have an exciting opportunity for an NMP or Pharmacist Prescriber to join our Wiltshire service for 12 months. Our integrated community drug and alcohol service offers support to individuals across Wiltshire. You will work within a busy prescribing service under the supervision of our Clinical Services Manager and Clinical Lead, alongside our Clinical Team, Team Managers and specialist Recovery Workers and Volunteers to improve the wellbeing of a wide range of individuals. As a community based Non-Medical Prescriber (NMP) or Pharmacist Prescriber at our Connect Service, you'll make a real difference as you empower and enable people to change. Passionate about people, you'll receive support to enhance your own life too, as you make the role your own in a friendly and multidisciplinary team.
Role Responsibility: As a Non-Medical Prescriber (NMP) or Pharmacist Prescriber, you will be involved with opiate substitute treatment (OST) interventions, benzodiazepine reductions, alcohol and opiate detoxifications and relapse prevention medications. You will also provide support for health care assessments, administer detoxification medication for clients, administer pabrinex, complete alcohol and opiate detoxification assessments, provide Blood Borne Virus (BBV) screening and vaccinations, and will work closely with mental health, physical health and social care services. You'll also help to create a collaborative approach that links Turning Point ever closer to outside professionals and agencies. You will attend a local prescribers meeting, one-to-one clinical supervision and national prescriber/clinician meetings which will also support your learning and continuous professional development. Full training and supervision is provided from our Clinical Services Manager and Clinical Lead. You will have a real opportunity to help shape service delivery and contribute to delivering clinically excellent services. As an employee you will have access to RCNi to assist with revalidation, indemnity insurance and support from the Clinical Lead, Clinical Services Manager, Turning Point's Head of Nursing and Head of Medicines Optimisation and Pharmacy Services.
Registered with the Nursing & Midwifery Council or a qualified Pharmacist and already a qualified independent prescriber, you will need to be confident managing all aspects of prescribing for opiates and managing alcohol detoxifications. You will join an established team in Wiltshire, you will need to be an excellent communicator and highly organised, and you will have the ability to develop support packages that are creative, flexible, and tailored to the needs of everyone. You'll be able to stay on top of a busy service and use the resources and support around you to achieve great outcomes. And of course, we're looking for someone who loves talking to people with different needs, is genuinely interested in helping them, and possesses a deep level of empathy, understanding and patience.
