Summary
The Special Care Baby Unit has an exciting opportunity for a trainee Advanced Neonatal Nurse Practitioner position, working in the neonatal unit and Maternity.
The successful candidate will start as a Band 7 and will be enrolled on to an accredited training programme. The theoretical component of the course will be delivered through the university, with clinical training and mentorship provided on the neonatal unit, and also with some placement time in a different neonatal unit.
Following successful completion of the programme and all competencies being completed, the candidate will step up to a Band 8a working within the established team.
ANNP’s working here have a diverse role which may differ somewhat to ANNPs working in larger neonatal units. The role can vary day by day and hour by hour, depending on clinical demands and services requirements.
The ANNP balances the responsibility of oversight of the care of babies both on the Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU), Transitional Care (TC) and postnatal ward, as well as carrying the emergency neonatal resuscitation bleep and attending high risk deliveries. They provide advanced nursing care in accordance with all local and national guidelines and demonstrate a high level of specialist neonatal knowledge and skills.
They achieve this by working closely with both the antenatal midwives, postnatal team and neonatal nurses. They have the support of the wider paediatric medical team who, when required, assist and support with premature or unwell neonates.
The ANNP will be expected to undertake duties expected of Tier 2 practitioners as outlined by the British Association of Perinatal Medicine (BAPM) medical workforce standards and support the Tier 1 duties undertaken routinely by junior medical doctors, over a 24/7 rota. The ANNP will cross clinical boundaries between nursing and medical care, taking on aspects of the role and responsibilities formerly undertaken solely by medical staff. Clinical supervision will be provided by Paediatric Consultant.
