Promote health education, disease prevention and self-management.
Maintain accurate electronic patient records and clinical documentation.
Respond appropriately to medical emergencies within your competence.
Participate in clinical governance, audit and quality improvement activities.
Work collaboratively with GPs, nurses, paramedics and allied healthcare professionals to ensure seamless patient care.

About You

We're looking for an experienced clinician who is confident working autonomously and passionate about delivering outstanding urgent care.
