the near future with a mission to ensure that all patients have access to high
quality primary medical services, provided in a friendly and welcoming
environment..
We have a strong team across our two practices, and value a
friendly and happy working environment with a strong team ethic and a

Main duties of the job
The Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) will provide
autonomous, expert-level clinical care, managing patients across a range of

receive timely and effective care, and developing long-term relationships with
patients to support optimal health outcomes.
As an ACP, you will make independent clinical decisions,
interpret test results, prescribe medications, and refer patients to
specialists when appropriate. The post holder may be required to work
autonomously for parts of the week when no GP is onsite, with remote clinical
support available as needed.
