Primary care nursing is where clinical expertise, prevention and continuity of care come together. It is where you build lasting relationships with patients, support healthier lives through education and early intervention, and make a real difference across every stage of life.

• Providing clinical nursing care: delivering wound care, phlebotomy, ECGs, blood pressure monitoring, spirometry, cervical cytology and other treatment‑room services while maintaining excellent infection‑prevention standards.
• Supporting holistic patient care: assessing physical and emotional wellbeing, identifying when additional support or referral is required and working collaboratively to ensure coordinated, person‑centred care.
• Contributing to quality improvement: maintaining accurate clinical records, supporting audits and QOF achievement, contributing to service development and continually developing your own knowledge through evidence‑based practice and professional development.
• Working collaboratively: working closely with GPs, nurses, healthcare assistants and the wider multidisciplinary team to deliver safe, effective care and continually improve the services we provide to our local community.
