Deliver targeted health promotion and brief interventions tailored to local population needs (e.g., cardiovascular risk reduction, mental health signposting). 5) Infection prevention and control (IPC) Apply standard infection control precautions (hand hygiene, PPE, safe sharps, waste segregation) and maintain a clean, safe clinical environment. Contribute to IPC audits, incident reporting and implementation of action plans. 6) Medicines management Administer and supply medicines within legal frameworks (PGD/PSD/prescription) and competence; provide medicines information and adherence support. Undertake vaccine and emergency drugs stock checks; maintain logs and expiry monitoring. 7) Safeguarding Identify, respond to and escalate child and adult safeguarding concerns in line with the RCGP safeguarding standards and local policies. Maintain role appropriate safeguarding training (Level 3 for registered clinicians in general practice) and contribute to multi agency information sharing. 8) Communication and record keeping Use sensitive, inclusive communication; obtain and record informed consent and chaperone use as required. Maintain accurate, contemporaneous clinical records to medicolegal standards; use templates/coding to support QOF and audit. 9) Teamwork, leadership and supervision Work collaboratively within the MDT and PCN; contribute to meetings and service development.
