Summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Advanced Clinical Practice (ACP) to join the team within the Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) at Glenfield Hospital. The SDEC department treats patients with Cardio-Respiratory conditions on an ambulatory pathway, with the oversight from a GP. We are looking for an ACP with Cardiology or Respiratory experience, or someone who is willing to develop your skills in this area.This is a small, supportive team which offers great opportunities for learning and development.
TheSDEC department at Glenfield Hospital is currently open Monday-Friday from 09:30am-10pm. The successful candidate would be required to work this shift pattern.
The post holder will be an integral member of the SDEC team, working collaboratively with medical, nursing, midwifery and allied healthcare professionals undertaking advanced roles and responsibilities traditionally the remit of medical staff under the direction of the Consultant in charge of the patients care.
The Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) will work within agreed protocols and guidelines exercising independent judgement in history taking, examination, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of a specific and undetermined caseload of critically or acutely or chronically ill or injured patients who may have highly complex acute presentations to the more minor common illnesses and injuries.The post will have a primary location but may extend and influence across UHL, including the Emergency Department and adult inpatient wards.
The ACP will act as a professional resource for the multi professional teams, patients and carers. They will ensure that evidence based practice is inherent in all aspects of care and treatment and ensure this knowledge is disseminated throughout the clinical area, across the Trust and externally as appropriate.
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We have four primary goals:
• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
