Job Description

:
We are seeking a Minor Illness Trained Independent Prescriber to join our supportive team and deliver high quality, safe, patient-centered care.

As a Minor Illness Independent Prescriber you will assess, diagnose and manage patients presenting with a variety of minor illnesses across the primary care setting. Your ability to prescribe independently will enable you to provide efficient and effective treatment, reducing waiting times and improving patient outcomes.

Main Duties:

- Conduct thorough clinical assessments and formulate management plans for patients with minor illnesses.

- Prescribe medications safely and responsibly within your scope of practice.

- Work collaboratively with GPs, nurses, pharmacists and other team members to deliver seamless care.

- Provide health promotion advice and support patient self-care.

- Maintain accurate clinical records and comply with all governance and regulatory standards.

- Hybrid working covering both Minor Illness and practice nursing and Long-Term Condition management where appropriate.

About the Candidate:

We are looking for:

- Registered healthcare professionals with a valid Independent Prescribing qualification.

- Experience and training in minor illness assessment and management.

- Strong clinical reasoning skills and sound knowledge of current prescribing guidelines (eg. NICE).

- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to work well within a team and support fellow colleagues.

- Commitment to ongoing professional development and high-quality patient care.

- General Practice/Treatment Room nurse experience is desirable but not essential.
