About the Role
We’re excited to launch an innovative Healthy Ageing Frailty / Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) model based at Newton Abbot Community Hospital. This service provides rapid assessment and same-day management for adults living with frailty, helping to prevent unnecessary hospital admissions and support people to remain well in their own communities.
As an Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP), you’ll work autonomously across the four pillars of advanced practice—clinical, leadership/management, education, and research—to deliver safe, person-centred care. You’ll play a key role in developing this evolving pathway and supporting the wider multidisciplinary team (MDT) to embed best practice and innovation.
Key Responsibilities
Advanced Clinical Assessment & Decision-Making
- Undertake comprehensive patient assessments, including detailed history taking and holistic physical and mental health examinations.
- Request and interpret investigations, and formulate evidence-based management plans, prescribe and deprescribe, working within a clearly defined scope of practice and with appropriate senior support.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
