Advanced Clinical Practitioner

We are offering an exciting opportunity for dedicated and compassionate Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) to join Warrington Innovation Network (WIN PCN) and support the delivery of our Same Day Access Service.

We would welcome applications from qualified Advanced Clinical Practitioners of all backgrounds, including, but not limited to Nursing, Pharmacy and Paramedicine.

This is a patient-facing role, ideal for an experienced clinician with an independent prescribing qualification who is confident in assessing, diagnosing, and treating a wide range of minor illnesses autonomously.

You’ll be working closely with our multidisciplinary team, providing on-the-day care to patients with presentations such as respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin conditions, ear and eye complaints, gastrointestinal issues, and minor musculoskeletal problems. You will play a key role in improving access to care, reducing demand on GP appointments, and supporting patients in managing their conditions effectively.

This role is ideal for an experienced prescribing pharmacist, nurse or paramedic with a background in primary care, urgent care, or community pharmacy who is confident in managing undifferentiated presentations in a supportive, innovative environment.
