      Job summary

      Lead Nurse Bexley Urgent Treatment Centres (UTCs in Bexley) Queen Marys Hospital Sidcup and Erith and District Hospital

      As the Lead Nurse you will be responsible for delivering a prompt, high-quality services to the UTCs across Bexley. You will play a key role in the provision of autonomous clinical practice and leadership.

      The UTCs are standalone and are not co-located with an Emergency Department. We see both minor illnesses and minor injuries with the Queen Marys site open 24 hours a day. From midnight this is manned by a GP only.

      Main duties of the job

      You will need to be flexible as a shift system operates in both areas. A non-medical prescribing qualification would be desirable but not essential. The ability to work under pressure and autonomously is essential for this post.

      The Hurley Group is an NHS organisation that runs a number of GP practices and urgent care centres within the M25 area. We have been providing patient-centred care since 1969, working within some of the UKs most deprived communities.

  • About the company

      National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
