Newbury Green is looking for an experienced practice nurse to expand our clinical team due to an increasing list size and continued expansion of practice services.
Main duties of the job
The Practice Nurse will work as part of the primary healthcare team providing Personal Medical Services to the patients of the Practice. In accordance with the NMC The Code, the post-holder will provide assessment, treatment, screening, health education services, and advice to patients. The post holder will provide and maintain a high standard of nursing care for patients as well as providing nursing assistance to the doctors and other members of the primary healthcare team. The duties will include all tasks normally undertaken by an experienced RGN and, in addition, any roles agreed between the nurse and the doctors as appropriate, having regard to current training and competencies. The post-holder will work with reference to Practice agreed protocols and guidelines, providing nursing treatments to patients both independently and in participation with nurse colleagues and general practitioners. The post-holder will have the required level of training and competence and will work within patient group directions where these are available. A nurse with prescribing qualifications will use them appropriately. About us
Led by our partner GPs and located in a modern, purpose-built health centre, the team at Newbury Green is focused on patient care and wellbeing. We have over 13,000 registered patients with our list growing every day, and now is the time to expand our staff roster too. As well as doctors, our practice team consists of practice nurses, physician associates, healthcare assistants, pharmacists and is supported by our capable, friendly, and experienced admin staff. From a humble beginning as a family-run small GP practice, we have expanded our team but still provide the same personal level of care we pride ourselves on. Newbury Green Medical Practice is also heavily involved in our local Primary Care Network, working together with other nearby practices to provide additional services for Broughton patients.
