Same Day Consultation Nurse

You'll see patients booked into your same day sessions, by telephone or face to face, using your clinical skills to assess undifferentiated presentations and decide, there and then, how best to manage each one.

Day to day you'll examine, diagnose and manage a broad mix of acute illness, minor injury and flare-ups of long-term conditions - treating and prescribing where your NMP qualifications allows, safety-netting appropriately, and referring on where needed. You'll travel out to patients at home when a visit is the right call, and a day in our extended access clinics.

You'll take shifts in our Triage Hub too, supporting our Care Navigators with clinical advice on the right pathways for a patient, and stepping in to triage patient when needed.

You'll keep accurate, timely records and work closely with our GPs on complex or urgent cases, and use audit and reflection to keep improving your own practice and ours.

Cornerstone Practice and Healthcare is a four-site GP practice serving a large and growing patient populations across Shadsworth, Rhyddings, Lambeth and Bentham Road in Blackburn and Darwen.

We're proud of the team we've built: GPs, nurses, pharmacists, physician associates and a close-knit admin team and care navigators. It's a busy environment, but a warm one- the kind of place where your name is known, your ideas are heard, and asking for help is never seen as a weakness.

We're a values-led, Christian-founded practice with a long-standing commitment to serving people in some of the most deprived parts of our area, whatever their background or belief. That sense of purpose runs through everything we do.

You'll have access to CPD opportunities and the support of an experienced clinical team as you settle into the role, along with the NHS Agenda for Change terms, NHS Pension Scheme membership.

If you want colleagues who care as much as you do, you'll fit right in here.
