• Act as a clinical role model within the MDT, supporting professional development and reflective practice.
• Record activity and outcomes in line with reporting requirements.

Key skills and attributes

• You thrive in a fast-paced, high-volume clinical environment and are confident delivering safe, effective care within time-limited consultations.
• You communicate clearly and effectively, building strong relationships with internal teams, PCNs, and external stakeholders - both verbally and in writing.
