Job summary

Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB) has been selected to take part in one of four national Fit Note Reform Pilots commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions, helping to test a new approach that aims to improve support for people whose health affects their ability to work. The pilot is designed to address a recognised challenge within the current system, where fit notes often focus on certifying sickness absence rather than providing practical support to help people remain in work or return to work safely.

MBPCC is delivering one of these pilots taking fit note generation out of practices within the Barrow and Mid Furness PCN areas. Patients will be referred directly from general practice into a new service called Enable where they will be offered a personalised Workability Plan setting out what they can do, the adjustments that would help, and the support available to them to aid them return to work.

The Advanced Nurse Practitioner is the senior clinical decision maker within the Enable service. The post holder carries clinical accountability for decisions, holds the most complex and highest risk caseload, and acts as the definitive point of clinical escalation short of the Clinical Lead.

Main duties of the job

Undertake advanced, autonomous work and health assessments for patients referred into the pilot, employing an extended scope of practice including advanced consultation, history taking and, where within the post holders assessed competence, physical assessment.

Assess undifferentiated presentations in the context of work, applying systematic clinical reasoning to distinguish between patients whose needs can be met by a Workability Plan, those requiring parallel clinical management, and those requiring urgent escalation.

Formulate and co-produce personalised Workability Plans focused on functional capability, phased return, adjustments and the practical support required to sustain work.

Exercise independent judgement in determining whether a period away from work is clinically appropriate, and articulate that judgement in terms that withstand challenge from patients, employers, referring clinicians and, potentially, an employment tribunal.

Recognise deteriorating or high risk presentations, including physical deterioration, mental health crisis, safeguarding concern and undisclosed serious pathology, and escalate without delay through agreed routes.

Issue fit notes for patients

Request, review and interpret investigations where clinically indicated and within agreed pilot scope, communicating and acting on findings appropriately.

consultation and home working, and the balance between these will vary with

service demand and patient need.

Home working is supported for remote assessment,

report writing, supervision and administrative activity, subject to a suitable,

confidential home working environment and compliance with information

governance requirements. Home working is an operational arrangement, not a

visibility, support the team and sustain relationships with referring

practices.

Regular travel across Barrow and Mid Furness is

required. Access to a vehicle and a full UK driving licence, or an equivalent
