As a nurse practitioner, you will be a highly valued member of the healthcare team as you embark on a truly rewarding career. The ideal candidate will have undertaken a specific course of study of at least first degree (Honours) level and be able to demonstrate a minimum of six months' experience as a band 6 or 7 practitioner with excellent clinical skills. An ability to work autonomously is also necessary.
Due to the complex nature of the role, you are expected to possess a wide range of skills and competencies. As a nurse practitioner, your responsibilities may be extensive and could include admitting and discharging patients from your caseload, performing comprehensive and sophisticated physical or mental health assessments, prescribing and managing a range of medicines and providing treatment and care both individually, as part of a team, and through referral to other agencies.
Typically the areas practitioners work in will be minor injuries, GP practices, urgent care, out of hours services, community services and intermediate care teams. We have helped many practitioners achieve their goals in areas such as work-life balance improvement, working closer to home or expanding on their clinical experience dependent on their choices.
