Accurate and contemporaneous clinical records will be maintained in line with professional standards. The post holder will work collaboratively with the wider Primary Care Network team, including pharmacists, physiotherapists, social prescribers, and GPs, to ensure integrated, patient-centred care.

The post holder is a registered Urgent Care Practitioner/Paramedic with relevant postgraduate qualifications, or with a registered Nursing qualification, delivering high-quality, autonomous clinical care within a general practice setting. Working within professional boundaries, they manage patients from first contact through assessment, diagnosis, treatment, referral and ongoing evaluation, including face-to-face, telephone and community-based consultations. The role requires advanced clinical decision-making, management of undifferentiated conditions, prescribing and referral in line with agreed pathways, and active participation in triage services. The post holder works collaboratively within the multidisciplinary team, provides clinical leadership, contributes to clinical governance, quality improvement and service development, and maintains professional standards, ongoing education and regulatory compliance to ensure safe, effective and patient-centred care.
