Job Description

Company Overview

The Key Medical Practice is a thriving, positive, forward thinking practice, committed to developing our same day access and availability to urgent care for our patient population. We are a dynamic and friendly team with patient care firmly placed at the heart of all we do. Achieving a good work life balance is fundamental to providing good care, and to enjoying ourselves, and we do all we can to make this happen.

We are seeking an Advanced Nurse Practitioner or Paramedic Practitioner, who will work as part of our same day team, which includes an allocated duty doctor each day, to provide telephone triage and clinical assessment throughout the day. You will therefore require experience and a suitable qualification in independently diagnosing and treating minor illnesses and injury with planning for onward referral where needed.

In order to practice independently a V300 or Independent/Supplementary prescribing qualification would be essential. This is an ever evolving position within general practice and we look forward to embracing your ideas and suggestions in developing our acute care services.

If you would like to join a team that embraces new ways of working, values training and education and is optimistic about the changes in primary care then we would like to hear from you.

Our practice provides services for approximately 13,000 patients from a main surgery in Kidlington and a branch surgery in Yarnton.

Informal discussions and visits welcome. Please email kathryn.muddle@nhs.net.
