Advanced Nurse Practitioner

We're looking for a proactive and experienced Advanced Nurse Practitioner to become part of our supportive, forward thinking clinical team. The role offers 6 - 8 sessions per week and would suit a confident clinician who enjoys working independently while providing high quality, patient focused care. Applicants must be qualified Independent Prescribers, able to prescribe safely and autonomously within their professional scope.

The Advanced Nurse Practitioner will work alongside the clinical team, and will be responsible for assessing, planning, delivering, and reviewing care for patients whose conditions have been pretriaged and fall within their scope of practice such as minor illnesses, chronic disease follow‑ups, and selected acute presentations.

The role includes prescribing and reviewing medications in line with evidence based practice, national guidelines, and practice policies, ensuring decisions remain within the practitioner’s competencies and the prescribing parameters set by the supervising GP. The Advanced Nurse Practitioner will support patients with both short‑term and long‑term conditions, using clinical judgement to apply drug and non‑drug treatment options as delegated by the wider clinical team.

The practitioner will provide patients with general health advice and guidance on minor illnesses, while maintaining a high standard of safe and effective clinical practice within their defined level of expertise. When a patient presents with a condition that is complex, unclear, or outside the agreed scope of practice, the Advanced Nurse Practitioner will promptly seek support or escalates care to the supervising GP or appropriate primary or secondary care services.

The Cambridge Practice was established in 2018 following the merger of Southlea Surgery and Victoria Surgery in Aldershot, and has been part of the Aldershot Primary Care Network since 2019. We are a fully accredited NHS GP Training Practice, with a long history of supporting the education and development of future GPs. We provide a high quality training environment for GP registrars and a range of healthcare students, including nursing, advanced clinical practice, paramedic, and physician associate students.

As a training practice, we are regularly reviewed to ensure high standards of patient care and efficient practice management.

Our main site is based within Aldershot Centre for Health, co localised with other healthcare providers, promoting collaborative working. We also operate a branch surgery located to the south of Aldershot, approximately three miles from the main site.

The following are the core responsibilities of the Advanced Nurse Practitioner. There may be, on occasion, a requirement to carry out other tasks; this will be dependent upon factors such as workload and staffing levels:

• Assess, diagnose, plan, implement and evaluate treatment/interventions and care for patients presenting with an undifferentiated diagnosis.
• Clinically examine and assess patient needs from a physiological and psychological perspective and plan clinical care accordingly.
• Assess, diagnose, plan, implement and evaluate interventions/treatments for patients with complex needs.
• Proactively identify, diagnose and manage treatment plans for patients at risk of developing a long‑term condition (as appropriate).
• Diagnose and manage both acute and chronic conditions, integrating both drug and non‑drug based treatment methods into a management plan.
• Prescribe and review medication for therapeutic effectiveness, appropriate to patient needs and in accordance with evidence‑based practice and national and practice protocols, within scope of practice.
• Work with patients in order to support compliance with and adherence to prescribed treatments.
• Provide information and advice on prescribed or over‑the‑counter medication on medication regimes, side‑effects, and interactions.
• Prioritise health problems and intervene appropriately to assist the patient in complex, urgent or emergency situations, including initiation of…
