Advanced Practitioner

Are you passionate about delivering high-quality, personalised care in a fast-paced acute setting? Join us!

We are looking for an enthusiastic Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) to join our Medical Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) team, managing over 100 patients daily across a wide range of acute medical conditions.

SDEC is an innovative, high-intensity service that provides patients with timely assessment, treatment, and discharge, without the need for traditional inpatient admission. As an ACP, you will work within a multidisciplinary team including consultants, doctors, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals, ensuring patients receive safe, effective, and personalised care.

This role offers an exciting opportunity to deliver acute care in a dynamic environment, using your clinical expertise to assess, diagnose, and manage patients efficiently. You will act as a clinical role model, support junior staff, contribute to team development, and demonstrate your skills across all four pillars of advanced practice.

The postholder will be expected to maintain up-to-date professional knowledge, complete relevant training, and demonstrate ongoing development through the Trust‑wide portfolio.

Working both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team (MDT), the postholder will be supported by the senior clinical team.
