Practice Nurse – Long‑Term Conditions
This autonomous, evidence‑based, and patient‑focused role will see the post holder cover clinical sessions for specific patient groups with long‑term conditions. Forming part of a small, supportive, and established team, the post holder will play a crucial role in all aspects of nursing practice and can take lead responsibilities in areas of competency or interest.
The Practice Nurse will be responsible for the management, monitoring, and clinical decision‑making and critical thinking required to run long‑term condition clinics such as diabetes, asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and cardiovascular disease (CVD).
The focus of the role is the delivery of evidence‑based practice for patients, sometimes with complex needs, presenting with long‑term conditions and acute problems that occur because of their chronic disease. The post holder will also ensure the provision of preventative health care to the practice population, diagnosing, providing specialist intervention, treatment, management, and referral to meet patient needs.
The post holder will also be enabled to deliver training and peers support to other members of the team as required. If qualified and appropriate, the post holder may also prescribe according to patient need.
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 is passionate about inclusion and diversity, welcoming applications from individuals of diverse backgrounds. All colleagues are encouraged and fully supported to work towards clinical development aspirations such as prescribing (where not already held), CPD to safely increase professional boundaries, or ACP status. Supervision and development time is offered flexibly to all clinical staff.
