Main duties of the job
The role is an all-rounded, clinical ACP role; the postholder will need
to confidently evidence and utilise key skills such as ability to work on own
initiative, ability to develop an evidence-based, personalised, integrated
health and social care plan in partnership with the individual, carers,
relatives and health care professionals, based on a full assessment of medical,
nursing and social care needs, and demonstrate ability to act as an autonomous

patients/carers/families resulting in safe, appropriate clinical decisions. The
postholder will work in collaboration with the PCN Practices to
deliver innovative ways of working to meet the strategic aims of the

job specification, and work resourcefully as part of the team to ensure tasks
are completed.
