Advanced Nurse Practitioner - GP Walk In Centre

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) is one of the largest healthcare systems in the United Kingdom, employing approximately 40,000 staff across a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health services to a population of over 1.15 million people, and to a wider population of 2.2 million when regional and national services are included.

The GP Walk in Centre is based at Cardonald Health centre in South Glasgow and will provide urgent primary care services to the local population. The service aims is to improve access, reduce pressure on GP practices, and minimise inappropriate Emergency Department attendances by offering rapid access to same-day assessment for patients unable to secure a GP appointment.

We are looking for motivated, enthusiastic Advanced Nurse Practitioners who have experience of working in primary care at an advanced level. Experience in Acute Care would be an additional advantage.

The Advanced Practitioner will practice autonomously in the assessment, diagnosis and appropriate management of patient presenting with undifferentiated and undiagnosed problems. They will be supported by a team of GPs and nursing staff on site to deliver urgent care and appropriate interventions as required.
