Job summary

Are you an experienced, autonomous nurse ready for your next challenge ? Cornerstone Practice and Healthcare is looking for a Same Day Consultation Nurse to join our friendly, forward-thinking team, caring for a large and growing practice population across four sites in Blackburn and Darwen. You'll be the clinician patients see on the day they need us most - assessing, diagnosing and treating a wide range of undifferentiated presentations, by telephone and face-to-face. You'll also support our Extended Access clinics, and help the practice achieve its QOF and Enhanced Services commitments - real variety, genuine autonomy, and real impact on your local community.

Main duties of the job

You'll see patients booked into your same day sessions, by telephone or face to face, using your clinical skills to assess undifferentiated presentations and decide, there and then, how best to manage each one.

Day to day you'll examine, diagnose and manage a broad mix of acute illness, minor injury and flare-ups of long-term conditions - treating and prescribing where your NMP qualifications allows, safety-netting appropriately, and referring on where needed. You'll travel out to patients at home when a visit is the right call, and a day in our extended access clinics.

You'll take shifts in our Triage Hub too, supporting our Care Navigators with clinical advice on the right pathways for a patient, and stepping in to triage patient when needed.

You'll keep accurate, timely records and work closely with our GPs on complex or urgent cases, and use audit and reflection to keep improving your own practice and ours.

You'll have access to CPD opportunities and the support of an experienced clinical team as you settle into the role, along with the NHS Agenda for Change terms, NHS Pension Scheme membership.

If you want colleagues who care as much as you do, you'll fit right in here.

Job summary

Can you read a hospital letter, identify what matters and make sure the right information reaches the patient record and the right person?

The Cornerstone Practice is looking for a Clinical Coding Administrator to provide maternity cover within our clinical administration team. This is careful, focused work that directly supports safe patient care.

You will read incoming hospital letters and discharge summaries, identify diagnoses, procedures, results and follow-up actions, and record the relevant information accurately in SystmOne. You will also highlight medication changes, appointment or referral requests and anything requiring GP review, then send it to the correct person.

You must be comfortable working with detailed clinical information, following clear protocols and knowing when to stop and ask rather than guess. Previous experience of clinical coding or processing medical correspondence would be a strong advantage. Training will be provided on Cornerstone's local procedures.

This is a fixed-term maternity-cover post running until 30 June 2027. The post is for 8 hours per week. The working pattern and rate of pay are to be confirmed before publication.

We care for approximately 9,500 patients and use SystmOne. An immediate start is available.

Main duties of the job

You will process and code incoming clinical correspondence accurately and safely. Your work will include:

Reading hospital letters, clinic letters and discharge summaries in full

Identifying diagnoses, procedures, results and information that must be added to the patient record

Entering accurate coded information in SystmOne using the correct date, severity and summary status

Checking for existing problems and linking new information to the correct patient problem

Linking procedures to the relevant diagnosis or condition

Identifying medication changes, appointment requests, referrals and other actions

Highlighting and forwarding actions to the correct GP, clinician or administration team

Recording clear notes so the recipient understands what action is required

Processing documents that require no further action and filing them safely

Following practice coding guides, templates and document-management procedures

Recognising unclear, conflicting or unfamiliar information and asking for advice rather than guessing

Maintaining accurate, timely and confidential patient records

About us

The Cornerstone Practice is based in the centre of March and cares for approximately 9,500 patients. We use SystmOne and Anima.

Our team includes GP partners, salaried GPs, advanced practitioners, treatment-room nurses, healthcare assistants, a mental health practitioner and experienced reception and administration colleagues. We also work with pharmacy, physiotherapy and social-prescribing colleagues.

The clinical administration team helps turn a large amount of incoming information into accurate, useful patient records. The work is detailed and sometimes complex, but you will have clear local guidance and colleagues to ask when something is not straightforward.

Job summary

Would you like to use your diabetes experience to make a real difference to patients who need more than a routine annual review?

Applicants must already have the knowledge, experience and clinical competence to manage poorly controlled type 2 diabetes, as this role goes beyond routine annual reviews.

Alongside the diabetes work, you will provide the usual treatment-room nursing service, including advanced wound care, compression therapy, HRT and menopause reviews, cervical screening and vaccinations.

This is a varied role offering 22 hours per week at £26.00 per hour. We are happy to discuss the working pattern.

We care for approximately 9,500 patients and use SystmOne. You will join a supportive clinical and non-clinical team.

This is a varied, hands-on nursing role combining advanced diabetes care with day-to-day treatment-room work.

Your duties will include:

• Managing patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes from assessment through to follow-up
• Identifying factors affecting diabetic control and agreeing individual management plans
• Reviewing symptoms, observations, blood results and medicines
• Setting realistic goals and supporting patients to improve their diabetes control
• Reviewing and optimising diabetes treatment within your competence
• Initiating, titrating and monitoring GLP-1 medicines
• Reviewing insulin and adjusting doses where trained and competent
• Seeking GP or specialist advice when needed
• Managing routine and complex wounds
• Providing compression therapy, including Doppler/ABPI where competent
• Undertaking HRT and menopause reviews
• Undertaking cervical screening
• Administering vaccinations, immunisations and prescribed injections
• Monitoring other long-term conditions within your competence
• Taking blood samples and completing routine clinical observations and tests
• Maintaining accurate SystmOne records
• Supporting infection prevention, vaccine management and the safe running of the treatment room

About us

The Cornerstone Practice is based in the centre of March and cares for approximately 9,500 patients. We use SystmOne.

You will join a team of GP partners, salaried GPs, advanced practitioners, treatment room nurses, healthcare assistants, a mental health practitioner and experienced reception and administration colleagues. We also work closely with pharmacy, physiotherapy and social prescribing colleagues.

We cannot promise quiet days in general practice. We can promise that you will not face the busy ones alone. Colleagues share their knowledge, ask one another for advice and step in when somebody needs a hand.

We are looking for someone who enjoys getting to know their patients, takes pride in providing safe and thoughtful care, and wants to be part of a team where people support one another.
