NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.

We have an exciting opportunity for an Emergency Nurse Practitioner (ENP) or Emergency Care Practitioner (ECP) who has completed an accredited Management of Minor Injuries Course to join the Minor Injuries team at the Royal Infirmary Edinburgh.

The Minor Injuries Unit is closely affiliated with the RIE Emergency Department and has close connections to the Minor Injuries services at the Western General Hospital and St Johns Hospital.

The ideal candidate would be an experienced ENP or ECP with Minor Injuries training at Level 10 or above, Clinical Assessment and Decision Making or equivalent and V300 Non Medical Independent Prescribing qualifications.

The Minor Injuries Course and experience in role are essential. Candidates would be expected to complete the V300 and CADM in post and would be fully supported, including study leave and in house education and mentorship.

If you are passionate about Minor Injuries and would like to join our close knit and supportive team we would love to hear from you.
