Clinicians document their consultations within EMIS, the primary care electronic record system. This ensures seamless access to the patients medical history and timely communication with other healthcare providers, such as GPs or specialists, ensuring follow-up actions are visible to all involved in the patient's care. Templates are available within EMIS to streamline documentation, and each clinician will receive an induction to familiarise themselves with the system to optimise its use.

PCN GPs are expected to review incoming clinical results within EMIS and take appropriate action for any abnormal findings. They are also responsible for addressing any clinical queries arising from virtual or face-to-face consultations.

In cases where a procedure is deemed necessary, the appropriate local clinical pathways will be followed. This includes ensuring informed consent and conducting any necessary pre-operative investigations.

• To ensure that prior to any course of action involving individuals/groups, their informed consent or other valid authority has been obtained.
• To ensure that record-keeping is managed through the creation and maintenance of concise, contemporaneous computerised records, and that all care is recorded accurately and in a timely fashion. Notes should include a Problem READ coded, history, examination where appropriate and a clear management plan.
• To interpret and explain complex facts in relation to a patients condition, taking appropriate action and giving advice in a professional manner to team members, and when appropriate to family and other carers, in such a way that protects and preserves the patients dignity.
• To have continuing responsibility for Adult and Child Safeguarding in all cases of suspected or confirmed abuse, and to ensure compliance with local and national guidelines, policies and procedures.
• To ensure that concerns and identified potential risks are referred to the appropriate Agency immediately.
• To assess and diagnose across a wide range of conditions, order investigations, plan and provide treatment as needed and discharge patients.
• If an examination is required, a chaperone will be provided should the patient request one. It is expected that all patients undergoing an examination will be asked if they would like a chaperone.
• Be aware of where the emergency equipment and medication are kept at the start of each clinic.
• To record in the medical record why investigations are being undertaken. To analyse the results and record in the medical record what actions are required.
• If a referral to secondary care is required, the clinician will complete the relevant referral letter and ensure the onward referral is completed or tasked to the admin team depending on agreed guidelines.
• If the patient needs a 2 week wait (2WW) referral, the clinician will complete the referral form in clinic and do the eRS referral themselves to ensure it is completed within 24 hours.
• To assess, tolerate and manage risk and deal with uncertainty.
• To use evidence-based practice to develop and maintain high quality, clinically effective and cost-effective primary care.
• To prescribe in accordance with regulations and with the post holders training and registration and in accordance with CCG, NHS England, NW London Prescribing Team, Practice Based Commissioning and local formulary.

About us

Thank you for your interest in North London NHS Foundation Trust (NLFT).

As of 1 April 2026, NLFT has formally merged with Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust--marking the start of an exciting new chapter. This is a unique opportunity to join a forward-thinking organisation at a time of transformation, where we are strengthening access to mental health services, responding more effectively to complex and specialist needs, and advancing our work in education, research and innovation.

By bringing together our combined expertise, we are building a stronger, more collaborative Trust--one that delivers consistent, high-quality care and improved outcomes for the diverse communities we serve.

Job summary

The publication of the Governments 10-Year Health Plan: Fit for the Future sets out an ambitious agenda for the health of the population and for the NHS. As part of that ambition, it makes clear that every system requires an Integrated Care Board that will function as the strategic commissioner of local health services, responsible for all but the most specialised commissioning, using multi-year budgets to drive improvement. This means ensuring that the money available to our local health and care system is put to the best possible use: to improve the local population's health, reduce health inequalities and improve access to consistently high-quality services.

The NHS needs commissioners who can better understand the health and care needs of their local populations, who can work with users, providers and wider communities and partners to develop strategies to improve health and tackle inequalities and who can contract with providers to ensure consistently high-quality, safe and efficient care. Improving access and waiting times, in particular against NHS constitutional standards, will continue to be core indicators of whether population needs are being met.

At the same time, we have a collective responsibility to reduce cost and become as effective as possible through reducing duplication and being clear on our core purpose. It is clear that there is much to do.

Main duties of the job

The SCC Commander will be part of the team working in the Integrated Care Board (ICB) System Coordination Centre (SCC). The role is responsible for delivering operational oversight via the SCC to ensure system level coordination of responses across Staffordshire & Stoke on Trent ICB and Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin, known as the Cluster ICB to maintain flow across UEC pathways.

The post holder will:

o Be responsible for monitoring key operational, clinical and quality metrics via a range of dashboards to swiftly identify deterioration in UEC performance across the system and escalate where required.

o Work with the ICB and system colleagues to implement all national and local guidance and ensuring system assurance is established through clear actions and pre-set targets.

o Support the wider directorate to deliver against national and local priorities as set out in the NHSE policy to improve and transform urgent and emergency care for the population of SSOT & STW, driving better outcomes, improved operational performance and value or money in planning and commissioning.

o Be required to work 150 hours over a 4-week rota across the seven-day period, 8am - 6pm including weekends and bank holidays.

o Work closely with ICB and system colleagues to balance risk across the system in times of escalation.

About us

Our goal as a clustered ICB is to lead and support delivery of the four Integrated Care System (ICS) aims across the geographies of Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin, Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent:

o Improving outcomes in population health and care

o Tackling inequalities in outcomes, experience, and access

o Enhancing productivity and value for money

o Helping the NHS to support broader social and economic development.

Please note that the Cluster ICB has consulted with its workforce on changes to contractual base locations and hybrid working arrangements and is implementing a consistent hybrid working model across the Cluster. The new arrangements are intended to support closer and more collaborative working across the Cluster ICB, through a consistent approach to hybrid working and the use of designated office locations.
