Job responsibilities

Job Title: General Practice Nurse

Grade: 6

Hours: Full/Part Time Location: Brownlow Health

Accountable to: Partners at Brownlow Health

Responsible to: Nurse Manager

Job Summary:

This role requires consolidation of specialist knowledge and skills in general practice nursing demonstrating a depth of knowledge, understanding and competence that supports evidenced informed, complex, autonomous and independent decision-making, and care in general practice and related settings. Those new to this role will need a period of preceptor ship. This role will require personal resilience, management, clinical leadership and supervision and mentorship of others in the general practice nursing team and providing an effective learning environment for staff and students in the wider team. The role will require an innovative approach in supporting and developing new models and strategies for service delivery, usually incorporating inter-professional and inter-agency approaches to monitor and improve care. General Practice Nurses deliver care to the practice population, but also need to have an understanding of the public health profile and population needs in order to be proactive in ensuring services are, as far as possible, matched to need.

Principal Responsibilities:

This role requires the ability to work independently and collaboratively, using freedom to exercise judgement about actions while accepting professional accountability and responsibility. This requires:

  • Enhanced critical thinking and ability to critically analyse a broad range of policies, literature and evidence to support clinical practice.

  • Ability to analyse service provision in relation to both quality assurance and quality monitoring, and to focus on patient outcomes wherever possible.

  • Strong clinical leadership of the team and clarity of expectation of team members with respect to quality of care delivery and values inherent in nursing practice. Emotional intelligence to recognise pressures on staff and the development of mechanisms to support and develop staff to recognise the impact of caring for people who may be experiencing complex healthcare issues.

  • Enhanced knowledge of the local community and needs and resources available, and the ability to signpost people to appropriate resources.

  • Ability to work collaboratively with others to meet local public health needs for individuals, groups and the wider community. Build strong relationships with the secondary care teams, particularly for patients receiving shared care, to ensure an effective flow of patient information to ensure high-quality care.

  • Ability to reflect in action and be actively engaged with the NMC revalidation process both for themselves and for others.

  • Highly developed specialist knowledge and understanding of LTCs, health behaviour and interventions to improve health outcomes, including the use of technologies to support patients at home.

  • Advanced knowledge and skills in therapeutics to prescribe effective pharmacological and non- pharmacological approaches for the management of LTCs and assess patient concordance.

  • Is able to respectfully challenge practice, systems and policies in an objective and constructive manner.
