Practice Nurse

We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic qualified practice nurse, ideally with respiratory nursing qualifications, to join the team based at Riverside Health Centre for 15 hours per week, covering Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

If not already trained in asthma or COPD care, then we can support the right candidate with the relevant training and supervision to achieve this.

The ideal candidate will have the ability to carry out the following: ·

• Wound care and dressings.
• Cervical cytology
• Administering adult and child immunisations
• Travel vaccinations
• Stock management.
• Contraception reviews (pill checks)
• Performing and managing patient recalls for asthma and COPD reviews.
  

Riverside Health Centre is a branch surgery of the COLTE partnership. We care for around 6,500 patients with care provided by three GP partners, one salaried GP, one nurse practitioner, 3 practice nurses and two HCAs. We are a close knit team who work together and support each other to provide the best possible care to our mixed and varied population of patients.

The Colte Partnership itself was formed in 2017 consisting of 8 local practices across Colchester and Tendring joining together to care for approximately 80,000 patients.

We also work as a part of a collaborative Primary Care Network (PCN) which spans across Colchester and Tendring.
