Advanced Clinical Practitioner in Cardiology
An exciting opportunity has arisen for the position of Advanced Clinical Practitioner in Cardiology, based across Morecambe Bay. The successful applicant will either be a qualified ACP or be required to complete the ACP course based at a local University at master's level.
The post holder will be required to travel between all three hospital sites and community sites within UHMB including at Kendal, Lancaster and Barrow-in-Furness.
The role blends direct, higher level clinical care with education, management activities with a focus on Governance and as such the post holder is expected to build working relationships across the local health community. The ability to initiate, sustain and evaluate change is essential.
The Cardiology ACP will work closely with the existing Heart Failure team and a team of multi-disciplinary staff within the CCDE and MECCS Directorates, including Consultant Cardiologists, Specialist Cardiology Nurse, and Clinical Investigation Technicians.
