An exciting permanent opportunity for full or part-time positions has arisen within Central Cheshire Integrated Care Partnership (CCICP) Musculoskeletal Clinical Assessment and Triage Service (MCATS) for an Advanced Musculoskeletal (MSK) Podiatry Practitioner to join our team.
As an established, experienced, and innovative team of advanced practitioners, we support the MSK Single Point of Access (SPA), triaging GP referrals to Orthopaedic, Rheumatology, and Pain consultants. We work collaboratively with Consultants, GPs, Nursing, and AHP colleagues supporting patient pathways to ensure the patients receive the right care first time. Our work has been recognized locally due to the impact on patient care and financial efficiencies subsequently invested in service expansion. Furthermore, we were nominated for the national HSJ award for community and Primary care service redesign.
The post offers an opportunity for flexible working within MCATS community clinics covering the South & Vale Royal Primary Care locations in the Central Cheshire Footprint. You will be working alongside other experienced Advanced Practitioners. Our service offers excellent opportunities to take an active approach in developing yourself, others, and our service through an established CPD programme. This allows competency and evidence-based portfolio to support Advanced Practice across the 4 Pillars.
Main duties of the job While we are seeking an experienced advanced podiatry practitioner, we welcome applications from aspiring clinicians who may not fully meet the job description but demonstrate clear aspiration to develop. We can offer additional support, mentorship, and training to upskill the right candidate.
This post requires highly specialized advanced practice level of knowledge and skills to provide high quality, effective triage and care for patients with complex musculoskeletal conditions. This includes requesting and managing relevant investigations and acting on results, with an understanding of the medical management, primary and secondary care referral criteria, emergency pathways, and serious pathology. Contribution to the mentorship of others, CPD program, departmental and divisional responsibilities make up key components of this role.
This post includes regular communication with the wider team, GPs, Consultants, and management to support links and implement innovative, efficient, and effective ways of working within the area of MSK conditions.
