Crynodeb
NHS Health Checks NHS Health Checks are offered by General Practices and are commissioned by South Gloucestershire Council. The key service outcome of the NHS Health Check programme is to reduce the inequality in disability and premature mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD) through risk assessment, risk awareness and risk management. Patients are eligible for this service if they are aged between 40-74 years of age and have not received an NHS Health Check within the last 5 years (exclusions apply see service spec). CVD is a significant contributory factor towards the current level of health inequalities in South Gloucestershire, with death from CVD four times higher among people in the most deprived communities to those in the most affluent. The NHS Health Check programme provides a systematic approach to the identification and management of people with the common risk factors and offers an opportunity to help people to improve their health and wellbeing. The purpose of the Health Checker role is to deliver high quality health checks to patients by offering a person-centred approach to raising awareness of current health behaviours, identifying areas of potential risk about developing cardiovascular disease and onward referral for further investigation and/or lifestyle support to encourage and maintain healthier lives. Role holders will be expected to ensure the patients attending an NHS health Check have a good experience by respecting, empowering, and working in partnership with people throughout their intervention. Vaccinator We have developed a successful covid and flu vaccination programme with clinics now being delivered across our 10 surgeries. This at scale service also includes annual flu vaccinations and we are beginning to expand into delivering other vaccination services as a PCN. We are committed to providing high-quality care for our patients, and to working collaboratively to reduce the impact of health inequalities across our patient population. The primary purpose of this role is to work as part of a small and friendly team as an unregistered Health Care Assistant providing vaccinations under the legal mechanisms of the covid-19 National Protocol or Patient Specific Directives (PSDs), as well as any other immunisation/vaccination programmes that are delivered at scale by the network. There are also opportunities to take part in outreach clinics, including vaccinating in care homes and to people who are housebound, practice support work (e.g. Phlebotomy clinics) and PCN projects.
