  • Function as an independent practitioner in the design and execution of nursing treatment plans.
  • Educate and support patients and caregivers on health and wellness topics, as well as self-care techniques.
  • Perform complex nursing assessments, including continuing healthcare evaluations, medication reviews, prescribing, and palliative care.
  • Utilize a diverse range of specialized nursing skills and knowledge, aligning practice with the organization's Medicines Policy for Registered professionals and the NMC Standards for Medicines management, ensuring that assessment and competence are maintained and documented as a nurse prescriber.
  • Assist the Zone Lead with staff supervision, performance evaluations, and management of absences.
