The Employer

Our client is a large busy Primary Care Network in Buckinghamshire. The PCN includes a large training practice. The PCN team includes GP's, physician associates, nurse and nurse specialists, pharmacists, physios, paramedic and social prescribers. 

The vision of the PCN is to provide the best possible care that they can for their patients by delivering safe and high-quality patient-centred services.  This vision is underpinned by the values of the Practice, the 4 P's:

Person-Centred Care

Personal Responsibility

Pride in our Team

Passion for Excellence

The role

As a Physician Associate you will be acting within your professional boundaries and scope of practice, providing care for patients from initial history taking, clinical assessment, diagnosis, treatment and evaluation of their care under the supervision of a GP. You will demonstrate safe, clinical decision-making and expert care for patients within the Primary Care Network (PCN), in consultation with the relevant GP. You will work as part of the Multi-Disciplinary team (MDT) across the PCN, supporting the delivery of the Primary Care Directed Enhanced Service to meet the needs of patients.

Your work will demonstrate improvement in patient outcomes, contributing to reduce health inequalities across the PCN and the wider community, improving the efficiency of general practice and delivering a best in class service.

Mentorship and supervision will be provided by your designated clinical supervisor. The level and type of supervision will be dependent on your skills and knowledge and determined by the organisation’s clinical governance arrangements. You will follow recommended annual appraisals and continuing professional development set out by the Faculty of Physician Associates (FPA).

The PCNs have already appointed PA's, social prescribing link workers, clinical pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. You will be a core part of the growing MDT, providing services to the patients registered with the GP practices within each PCN. As the PCNs develop further this team will expand to include other additional roles as prescribed nationally.

Scope and purpose of the role

To deliver a high standard of patient care using advanced autonomous clinical skills with in-depth theoretical knowledge and evidence-based practice working under the supervision of a GP

To manage a clinical caseload and deal with presenting patient’s needs in a PCN setting

To provide clinical leadership where appropriate within the MDT, supporting other members of the team to develop and maintain clinical skills appropriate to your role and expertise.

Clinical

Provide first point of contact for patients presenting with undifferentiated, undiagnosed problems, utilising history taking, physical examination, problem-solving and clinical decision-making skills to establish a working diagnosis and management plan working in partnership with patients.

Undertake consultations (in person, video and telephone) for emergency or routine problems including management of long-term conditions.

Instigate necessary invasive and non-invasive diagnostic tests or investigations and interpret findings/reports within your scope of competence. Discuss the result and implications of laboratory investigations with patients.

Utilise local and national clinical guidelines and promote evidence-based practice.

Offer a holistic service to patients and their families, developing where appropriate an on-going plan of care/support with an emphasis on prevention and self-care.

Refer patients directly to other services or agencies using appropriate referral pathways.

Ensure safe handover of care within and outside the Practice and PCN as appropriate.

Work directly with members of the MDT and support integrated patient-centered care through appropriate working with the wider primary care and social care networks.

Identify community health needs and participate in the development of patient and family-centered strategies to address them.

Contribute to the delivery of the PCN Directed Enhanced Service (DES) targets to consistently achieve high standards of safe, evidence-based, cost-effective patient care and service delivery.

About you - Training and Development

You will be supported in participating in continuing professional development opportunities to keep up-to-date with evidence-based knowledge and competence in all aspects of the role to meet clinical governance guidelines for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and a Personal Development Plan (PDP) utilising a reflective approach to Practice to ensure you are able to meet your required 50 hours of CPD every year.

Undertake a variety of research and analysis tasks associated with the improvement of clinical care, medical diagnosis and treatment where appropriate using the following means:

  • Audit of clinical practice
  • Review of relevant literature
  • Research unusual symptoms and treatment options through consultation with general practitioners, and the wider MDT.
