Bank Advanced Nurse Practitioner *INTERNAL ONLY* ND

We are looking to recruit Bank Advanced Nurse Practitioners to support our existing ANP/NP team within the Orthopaedic Department, and to support our waiting time initiative. You will be expert clinical practitioners responsible for providing advanced clinical skills in our Orthopaedic unit (trauma and elective), enhancing care and improving patient flow in conjunction with national standards. You will work across Fife Elective Orthopaedic Centre, Orthopaedic trauma wards (and work alongside the Ortho-geriatric Consultant in our dedicated hip fracture ward.) Our Advanced Nurse Practitioners work effectively as senior members of the Orthopaedic Team ensuring the delivery of high quality, clinically effective care, utilising advanced clinical skills and knowledge. Working within our new National Treatment Centre provides an exciting opportunity to work autonomously with an ANP-Led unit. You will have experience in managing safe, effective treatment and care. This will involve working across professional and organisational boundaries in partnership with others including acute and primary care nursing and medical staff, allied health professionals and senior management teams. You will provide direct patient management in partnership with senior medical staff, have sound clinical knowledge and highly developed clinical decision-making skills in acute care. You should possess the ability to prioritise fluctuating workloads, work across professional boundaries and be flexible in an extremely busty environment. You should be a registered nurse, who, acting within your professional boundaries will provide care for the presenting patient from initial history taking, clinical assessment, diagnosis, treatment and evaluation of their care. You will demonstrate safe clinical decision making and expert care for patients. You must possess a Post Graduate Diploma in Advanced Practice and have demonstrable evidence of clinical competence through your existing substantive post.
