We are a dynamic and forward thinking service with a wealth of clinical and leadership experience. We aim for an open and honest culture, believing in nurturing future stars in the NHS.
Come and join our flourishing ANP team who provide clinical services within GP Medical Centres within the Central (Galashiels area) and East (Kelso, Duns, Eyemouh areas) clusters in the Scottish Borders.
Qualified Advanced Nurse Practitioners
As part of the team you will provide a central core knowledge, skills and competencies essential to Primary Care. In addition as a qualified ANP/AP you will have responsibility for coaching and mentoring our ANP’s in training.

You will support the continued development, delivery and management of the Primary Care Improvement Plan - the implementation plan for the GMS/GP contract.
Trainee Advanced Nurse Practitioners
We also have a number of Trainee ANP positions – you will be an experienced nurse with post registration experience at a senior level. Experience of primary care would be an advantage. The successful post holder will work towards carrying out the full scope of duties. In conjunction with formal study you will receive in-house training, guidance, supervision and mentoring to learn the required new skills and develop confidence as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner
Trainee posts are paid at Band 6 until completion of the Advanced Practice Pathway (Post-Graduate diploma in Advanced Practice including Non-medical prescribing).
