This exciting opportunity is to work directly in one practice to support patients from varying backgrounds and patient demographics.
The role is pivotal to improving the quality of care and operational efficiencies, so it requires motivation and passion to deliver excellent service.

Evaluate information from clinical examinations and/or triage to initiate appropriate treatment and/or referral. This includes appropriate signposting of patients to plan care for patients. Plan provision of care for patients as appropriate, e.g., onward referral to clinical services, self-care advice, and prevention advice. Consider holistic aspects and work in accordance with wider guidelines, protocols, policies, and patient care pathways. Work in partnership and liaise with multi-disciplinary teams within primary, urgent, and community secondary care, to promote integrated approaches to patient care and seamless patient referral into appropriate healthcare services and pathways.
