About the Role
The opportunity has arisen to be part of our expanding multi-disciplinary frailty team and to have the opportunity to lead the Advance Clinical Practitioner team whilst also providing autonomous clinical support to the care of patients undertaking frailty health assessments: diagnoses, treating, and discharging patients within their own competence.
Our Frailty Strategy forms part of the Trust strategy. In line with national evidence, we aim to take care closer to patients’ homes, to enable and empower our frail older patients to live independently with the confidence that we are there to support them.
Responsibilities
- Lead the expanding Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) team
- Support ACP team supervision and associated development requirements
- Service reviews and planning
- Driving innovation through the four pillars of advanced practice, clinical practice, leadership and management, education, and research
- Coordinate ACP cover for multiple services across 24/7 services
- Dedicated leadership/management & education time will be allocated to allow for undertaking the leadership role alongside clinical duties
