Why work overnight with BrisDoc?
Leave work at work
Complete your clinical documentation and essential administration during paid hours, without routine catch-up after your shift is done.
Use your full clinical skillset
Assess undifferentiated presentations and use your clinical judgement to diagnose, prescribe, treat, safety-net and refer.
Autonomy with a team behind you
Work independently while staying connected to a wider team of nurses, paramedics, pharmacists, GPs, consultants, mental health practitioners and operational colleagues.
Keep learning
Take part in regular case-based clinical forums and supervision, with structured peer feedback on a sample of your clinical notes and access to established guidance and decision-support resources.
The clinical work
SevernSide Integrated Urgent Care brings together NHS 111 and the GP out-of-hours service. You’ll care for patients who need timely clinical assessment and treatment overnight, helping them receive the right care and avoid unnecessary hospital admission wherever it is safe to do so.
You’ll:
- assess patients with undifferentiated illness, complex needs and acute or chronic conditions
- consult remotely and face to face, with home visits where required
- use advanced assessment and clinical reasoning to diagnose, prescribe and agree management plans
- recognise and respond to urgent or emergency presentations, with clear safety-netting
- make effective referrals and collaborate with community clinicians to support safe admission avoidance.
Every night is different. Some shifts are steady and others are busy or unpredictable. Throughout, you’ll use your experience to prioritise safely, work within your professional scope and involve colleagues when another perspective is needed.
What you’ll need
- current registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council or Health and Care Professions Council, together with an independent prescribing qualification
- advanced clinical assessment, reasoning and decision-making capability, gained through a relevant qualification or equivalent experience
- post-registration experience in an appropriate setting, such as general practice, minor illness, urgent or emergency care, NHS 111, community care or an out-of-hours service
- experience assessing, diagnosing, treating and discharging patients autonomously, both remotely and face to face
- sound professional judgement, including the ability to recognise your limits and seek support
- a compassionate and inclusive approach to patients, carers and colleagues.
If you are an independent prescriber with relevant autonomous practice but your experience doesn’t match every example above, we would still like to hear from you.
