Your role will encompass running prescribing clinics, performing health and wellbeing assessments, and participating in multi-disciplinary meetings to ensure robust governance and promote team learning and development. You will deliver targeted and opportunistic clinical interventions, which may include liver elastography, ECGs, Dried Blood Spot Testing (DBST) for blood borne viruses, Pabrinex, Buprenorphine prolonged-release injections, and Hepatitis B vaccinations when clinically indicated.

You will engage in prescriber meetings, receive one-on-one clinical supervision, and attend national prescriber/clinician meetings to support your ongoing learning and professional development.

As a valued employee, you will have access to RCNi to assist with revalidation, along with support from the Clinical Lead (Consultant Psychiatrist), Clinical Services Manager, and Turning Point's Head of Nursing and Head of Medicines Optimisation and Pharmacy Services.
