- Undertaking cervical cytology and other relevant clinical procedures within your scope of practice.
- Requesting pathology tests, processing results and advising patients appropriately.
- Supporting health promotion and raising awareness of vaccination and wider health issues.
- Maintaining accurate and timely clinical records using systems such as SystmOne.
- Supporting effective infection prevention and control, including safe management of specimens, PPE, sharps, waste and clinical environments.
- Maintaining appropriate stock levels and ensuring vaccines and clinical equipment are safely managed.
- Identifying and escalating clinical, health and safety or quality concerns appropriately.
- Working collaboratively with GP practices, colleagues and other healthcare organisations to meet patients' needs.
- Working within relevant policies, protocols, professional standards and your own scope of practice.
- Contributing to service improvement, quality initiatives and the ongoing development of the team.
