Summary
The Advanced Clinical Practitioner will assess and triage patients, including same day triage, and as appropriate provide definitive treatment -including prescribing medications following policy, patient group directives, NICE and local clinical guidelines and local care pathways- or make necessary referrals to other members of the primary care team. There may be, on occasion, a requirement to carry out other tasks; this will be dependent upon factors such as workload and staffing levels. Demonstrate a critical understanding of their broadened level of responsibility and autonomy and the limits of own competence and professional scope of practice, including when working with complexity, risk, uncertainty and incomplete information. The ACP provides an opportunity for patients to receive timely care and negate unnecessarily delay in receiving treatment and without the need to refer to a GP. Manage undifferentiated undiagnosed conditions and identify red flags and underlying serious pathology and take appropriate action. Visit Care Homes and undertake weekly ward rounds, working closely with the Care Home and Practice colleagues to optimise the health and welfare of patients. ACPs in primary care can develop close, long-term relationships with their patients and work in partnership with them to achieve optimum health. They are autonomous in making decisions based on assessment, diagnosis and interpretation of test results. Use complex decision making to inform the diagnosis, investigation, complete management of episodes of care within a broad scope of practice. Exercise professional judgement to manage risk. Actively take a personalised care approach and population centred care approach to enable shared decision making. Complete the relevant training to provide multi-professional clinical practice and CPD supervision to other roles within primary care, for example first contact practitioners and the personalised care roles. ACPs can independently prescribe appropriate medication, evaluate or refer to other specialists if necessary. Be a professional role model for the organisations. Actively seek feedback and involvement from individuals, families, carers, communities and colleagues in the co-production of service improvements. Critically assess and address own learning needs, negotiating a personal development plan that reflects the breadth of ongoing professional development across the four pillars of advanced clinical practice (clinical practice, leadership and management, education and research). Provide chronic disease clinics, delivering patient care as necessary, referring patients to secondary/specialist care as required. Chaperone patients where necessary. Support the team with all safeguarding matters in accordance with local and national policies.
