• Fulfil the expectations and core capabilities of an ACCP as set out in the NHSE Multi-professional Framework for Advanced Clinical Practice in England (or other recognised service specific credential), delivering independent clinical practice across the four pillars of
advanced practice, with commitment to a culture of life-long learning and continuous professional development, through engagement with clinical supervision and maintenance of an advanced practice professional portfolio.
Please note that applications for this post will not be shortlisted until the 26th August.
• Work in partnership with patients, families and members of the multi-disciplinary team, to best meet the needs and wellbeing of the patient, delivering high quality evidence-based care within Paediatric Critical Care and Retrieval services. The practitioner will be expected to demonstrate proficiency across the four pillars of Advanced Clinical Practice, namely Clinical, Leadership and Management, Education and Research.
• The practitioner will be expected to work at an advanced level drawing on a diverse range of knowledge and clinical skills, with complex decision-making to determine evidence-based therapeutic interventions required. This may be on Oxford University Hospital sites, any other hospital, or no-hospital site as part of the SORT retrieval service
• As a qualified ACCP in Paediatric Critical Care the practitioner must be able to work autonomously, delivering safe and effective practice, as part of an MDT
• Must be able to effectively lead a team in resuscitating, stabilising and transferring a critically ill child, performing any high-level clinical or technical skills and procedures necessary to carry this out in paediatric patients, either in the OUH paediatric intensive care,
emergency department, or independently in transport/retrieval environments.
• Able to recognise, assess and manage the full range of both medical and surgical paediatric conditions requiring intensive care support, including the management of safeguarding issues within this environment
Paediatric Critical Care (PCC) at OUH includes 17 co-located Level 2 and 3 critical care beds, delivering a wide range of specialist services to patients from Oxfordshire and the wider Thames Valley and Wessex Paediatric Critical Care Operational Delivery Network (TVW PCC ODN). We are a leading Neurosurgical and Major Trauma Centre and have a vast number of medical and surgical specialities. The unit is undergoing an exciting period of estate and workforce development and investment, with a move into newly built unit within the next 5 years.
SORT Retrieval Service OUH PCC Services include the SORT (Southampton Oxford Retrieval Team) service, delivered in collaboration with Southampton across TVW PCC ODN. It is staffed by doctors, ACPs and nurses from both Oxford and Southampton, with Oxford providing a retrieval team 24/7.
Critical Care Outreach Service is a team of experienced nurses who support all healthcare professionals in the assessment and management of unwell children across the children’s hospital, emergency department, and neonatal unit, following up and supporting children and families following discharge.
Education, Development and Training is provided through a structured competency-based development programme, and we are piloting an inhouse PCC L3 specialist course for nursing staff. Clinical and leadership career development pathways are available. We have a growing team of Advanced Clinical Practitioners who work across PCCU and SORT services at OUH.
Candidates must be a registered healthcare professional, with extensive experience in Paediatric Critical Care, Paediatric Critical Care Outreach and/or Paediatric Critical Care Retrieval. They will have evidence of a completed master’s programme in Advanced Nursing Practice, Advanced Clinical Practice, or an Advanced Practice Credential via NHSE, and be a registered Independent and Supplementary Prescriber.
Candidates must be able to demonstrate completion of an accredited ‘academic’ pathway (leading to completed Level 7 MSc), and provide evidence of their workplace-based advanced practice capabilities via a portfolio, which must be available for review at interview, and contain evidence of advanced practice training/CPD, supervision and capabilities, relevant to Paediatric Critical Care.
Applications will also be considered from candidates with extensive Paediatric Critical Care experience, who are in their final year of their Advanced Practice MSc or training programme/portfolio, as completion of training may be supported. An ePortfolio tool and Paediatric Critical Care competencies are available to support assurances in practice, and to evidence capabilities fully across the four pillars (clinical, leadership, education, research). This would require a period of further training at a Band 7 level.
