Summary
The opportunity is open to qualified Clinical Practitioners with Level 7 Minor Illness qualification and the V300 NMP course who would like to gain further face to face exposure and experience. Overall purpose of role is to provide care, support, and advice to patients across all age groups, who require immediate healthcare advice, assessment, and treatment. You will assess patients signs and symptoms based on their individual needs, to provide clinically effective patient care and promote best clinical practice. The Clinical Practitioner role will involve working in clinical setting where you will provide advice over the phone, via video consultation or by assessment in our treatment centre and any future services. It will be expected that you appropriately conclude clinical cases at the first point of contact for minor illness or injury, including common health enquiries. This will involve signposting to evidence-based resources appropriate to the presenting complaint, suitable safety netting to their own GP for timely follow up, or a pharmacy for interim self-care and over the counter therapies. It is expected as part of the clinical practitioner role that you remain up to date with physical examination and clinical assessment skills by ensuring a minimum of 50% of your clinical hours are in face-to-face clinical sessions. With appropriate training, you will be able to administer over label stock medication for specific conditions as part of the Mastercalls patient group directives (PGDs) in the out of hours period when there is urgent need. However, as you are qualified as a non-medical prescriber, your individual prescribing formulary would be agreed upon (prior to commencement of your role) and reviewed/submitted annually. This is to ensure that your individual formulary meets the scope of a clinical practitioner managing acute minor illness or injury. You will be expected to provide clear and concise safety netting advice and inform patients of red flags appropriate to the presenting complaint. While providing clear instructions in the event of a change or worsening in the individuals condition or symptoms, for example: to attend accident and emergency, 111, urgent treatment centres, or 999 ambulance services. For patients who require additional support, senior clinical advice or a face-to-face assessment with a GP or ACP you will triage the case in a timely and efficient manner and forward to the most appropriate resource. Ensuring that their priority of need is appropriate to the presenting complaint and considerate to the service provision to be able to respond; especially in times of increased demand, time of day and resource availability.
