Summary
Do you want to develop yourself in a brand new state-of-the-art unit with a forward-thinking, progressive team?
We are looking to recruit qualified Neonatal ACP’s and candidates who are looking to further their career by training as an ACP.

Our units offer an abundance of interesting and unique patients to care for while developing yourself on individual chosen pathways.
Successful candidates will already be a qualified ACP through completion of the MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice.
Candidates who are looking to undertake their training, who meet the standards for MSc entry, or are currently in training on the MSc ACP neonatal pathway are also welcome to apply.
NUH is undergoing a wonderful change with the Maternity Neonatal Redesign (MNR) which will see Neonatal services grow significantly over at QMC. We are building a state-of-the-art new centre which will open at the end of this year and we are so excited. We are also able to offer experienced candidates the opportunity to work with CenTre transport as an ACP on transport, caring for some of our patients while they safely transit around the network.
In addition to the below summary you need to familiarise yourself with the full Job Description and Person Specification documents attached to this advert.
As a service we are anticipating funding to support the Maternity and Neonatal Redesign. This will help to fulfil our need for increased capacity and improved environment within Nottingham University Hospitals. There will be many exciting new opportunities for development and learning offered within the MNR project, as part of the ACNP team you will be integral to decision making which will help develop and grow our service.
As we are expanding our team we are inviting candidates who will have excellent up-to-date clinical skills, knowledge and understanding of the needs of the sick neonates and their families. You will also be able to prioritize, use your own initiative, thrive under pressure and manage difficult situations effectively to ensure the provision of excellent patient care within the unit. You will be able to exercise independent judgement in the assessment and diagnosis of neonatal conditions. You will need to establish an appropriate course of action in order to initiate effective treatment and facilitate ongoing medical management of neonatal conditions using agreed protocols and guidelines.
Our expanding service is offering an opportunity to develop yourself as an ACP in ways which are supported by the established work of the Trust’s ACP framework. We encourage applications from individuals who have aspirations to grow our service in new ways.

Our Neonatal Service at Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) NHS Trust by recruitmentatNUH - Issuu
The ACNP crosses the clinical boundaries between nursing and medical care, using advanced clinical knowledge and skills to work independently, with support provided by a Consultant Neonatologist for clinical supervision. This includes working out of hours with telephone support from a Consultant Neonatologist.
The post holders will promote a high standard of advanced clinical nursing and medical care by initiating and co-ordinating the assessment, planning, delivery and evaluation of the holistic needs of babies, parents/carers and families through evidence based clinical practice following agreed policies, protocols and guidelines.
An advanced clinical practitioner exercises independent judgement to provide all elements of clinical care using an holistic, family-centred approach, which may include assessment; planning; provision of care and treatment; diagnosis; investigation and referral; evaluation; transfer; discharge; follow-up.
ACNPs contribute to Tier 2 (Middle Grade/SpR/ST 4-7) or Tier 1 (SHO/ST1-3) rota and clinical nursing shifts, the work pattern of each individual being determined by their level of experience and competence. There will be the opportunity as experience is gained to progress from Tier 1 to Tier 2.
The post-holders will be expected to work on average 37.5 hours per week in a shift pattern. The shift patterns will be compliant with the European Working Time Directive and will involve shifts not more than 13 hours in length and will include working weekends and night shifts on a regular basis. Approximately 25% of the post holder’s time will be used for nursing development and service development, education and training.
The ACNPs will work within the multidisciplinary team to deliver advanced clinical neonatal nursing and medical practice, education, support and clinical leadership. They will be easily recognisable by uniform and badge.
