Practice Nurse

Join a forward‑thinking, well‑resourced GP practice in the heart of Warwick with excellent facilities, strong clinical support and real opportunities for professional development.

Priory Medical Centre is a well established, teaching GP partnership serving a list of approximately 19,000 patients, with a modern purpose‑built main surgery opened in June 2021 and a branch surgery on Woodloes Park.

We’re recruiting a Practice Nurse to join a friendly, multidisciplinary team that includes 5 GP partners, salaried GPs, ANPs, trainee ACPs, nurses, HCAs and strong admin support – ideal for nurses who value collaboration and mentorship.

The role offers a varied clinical mix: immunisations, chronic disease reviews – diabetes, COPD, asthma, wound and ulcer care, cytology, travel clinics, minor procedures and contraception services, with opportunities to develop special interests and work to agreed clinical protocols.

You’ll work in a teaching practice with GP registrars and medical students, benefiting from ongoing learning, strong QOF/IIF performance, and a practice culture that supports innovation and career progression. Our Practice Nurses attend regular training and often progress onto becoming Advanced Clinical Practitioners.

If you’re a compassionate, proactive nurse seeking variety, professional development and excellent facilities in Warwick, Priory Medical Centre could be the next step in your career.

As a Practice Nurse at Priory Medical Centre, you will provide high quality, patient‑centred nursing care as part of our supportive multidisciplinary team.

Your role will include delivering treatment room services such as wound care, dressings, ECGs, blood pressure monitoring, venepuncture and NHS Health Checks. You will run nurse‑led clinics, including cervical cytology, childhood and adult immunisations, and long‑term condition reviews for patients with asthma, COPD, diabetes and hypertension.

You will offer health promotion and lifestyle advice, supporting patients to manage their conditions confidently and independently. Accurate record keeping, safe medicines management and adherence to infection prevention standards are essential parts of the role.

Working within a teaching practice, you will contribute to clinical governance, audits and quality improvement activity, while supporting trainees and learners where appropriate. You will manage your own clinic workload with the backing of an experienced nursing and administrative team, using digital systems to deliver efficient and accessible care.
