Summary
A Vacancy at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust.
Are you an ACP, who wants to work within a community based MDT, having a passion for supporting patient care and keen to make a difference? Do you want to support the development of the new Hospital at Home service? We are looking for an enthusiastic Advanced Clinical Practitioner who wants to join our Community Response Team and support patients to stay at home, reducing the need for hospital admission.
The ACP will primarily work within the IV service but will rotate between our Hospital at Home service, Crisis Response Teams as well as the Discharge to Assess team. The IV team enables patients to receive safe, effective treatment at home instead of the need for a hospital admission. You will provide medical assessments at home alongside our GPs, with overall care under a hospital consultant. We receive referrals from community services, GPs and the acute trusts including ED with a focus on keeping patients at home where possible. A confident communicator with strong organisational skills, you will thrive in an MDT environment and will be instrumental in supporting and developing this service, to ensure a high-quality service for our patients. With a passion for continuous development and service improvement, you will be involved in a variety of projects and development of new care pathways. You will receive regular supervision, in-service training, and support.
You will also have the opportunity to work across hospital and community whilst developing key links and networks with acute and community colleagues. This will enable you to use your specialist clinical skills across all four pillars of advanced clinical practice to determine the most appropriate pathways for your patients and will include access to virtual patient monitoring for patients that would benefit from additional clinical oversight.
You will work closely with the multi-disciplinary team across acute, community and voluntary partners to ensure discharges are safe and effective and to prevent re-admission.
Using your experience and knowledge, you will support other team members to ensure we deliver a high-quality service for our patients, providing education and support as needed.
We pride ourselves on promoting quality improvement initiatives, service development and professional and personal development and as a member of our team you will receive support to pursue post graduate education.
You will be involved in both team projects and wider trust initiatives giving you the opportunity to form close professional relationships with a wide variety of multi-disciplinary team members.
MFT is one of the largest NHS Trust In England with a turnover of £2.6bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We’re creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.
Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 28,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you’ll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.
We’ve also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research, and innovation through the introduction of Hive; our Electronic Patient Record system which launched in September 2022.
We’re proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes. What’s more, we’re excited to be embarking on our Green Plan which sets out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable.
At MFT, we create and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, provide equal opportunities for career development that are fair, open, and transparent, protecting your health and wellbeing and shaping the future of our organisation together.
