Are you an experienced ACP with a passion for delivering high-quality patient care in the community? Or a ACP trainee in the last year of the MSc? Do you want to play a key role in shaping the future of urgent care services across Islington?
We are seeking an enthusiastic ACP to join our Urgent Community Response Team, This is an exciting opportunity to make a real difference by supporting residents to remain safely in their usual place of residence, reducing avoidable hospital admissions and improving patient outcomes. The team also leads on the Islington Hospital at Home pathways which help get patients home sooner, improving their experience and recovery through acute hospital-level care in their own homes.
The successful postholder will have community experience and demonstrate specialist clinical skills and knowledge in advanced clinical assessment. The Advanced clinical practitioner will offer clinical expertise, guidance, and management plans, clinical decision making, and discharge planning to acutely unwell patients. Develop differential diagnosis and work in collaboration with primary care, community services and acute trust and the wider multidisciplinary team to agree what services need to be put in place; what clinical and medical support will be needed to manage and mitigate risk to ensure a safe and supportive care in their usual place of residence
The post holder will be practicing as a qualified ACP in order to provide patient-centred quality care. This will encompass the skills of assessment, examination, diagnosis and treatment within an agreed scope of practice.
Working autonomously, the post holder will have continuing responsibility for proactively monitoring and managing patients on the caseload. The post holder will be highly skilled in physical assessment, diagnostic reasoning and nurse independent prescribing and use these in the community to assist in the recognition of early symptoms of disease exacerbation, acute illness and injuries. The post holder will be expected to co-ordinate care and navigate the patient through pathways across the primary and secondary care interface.
The post holder will contribute to service development, support innovative models of care, and play a key role in delivering high-quality, responsive care to patients with complex needs in the community.
The post holder will be a senior nurse within the IUCRT and therefore act as a clinical leader and role model to staff within the service, offering clinical advice on the care of patients with complex needs as required. They will work with colleagues and managers to support the integration of care pathways and patient care across Islington community and acute settings
Whittington Health serves a richly diverse population and works hard to ensure that all our services are fair and equally accessible to everyone. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the way we look after our staff. We aim to employ a workforce which is as representative as possible of this population, so we are open to the value of differences in age, disability, gender, marital status, pregnancy and maternity, race, sexual orientation, and religion or belief. The Trust believes that as a public sector organisation we have an obligation to have recruitment, training, promotion and other formal employment policies and procedures that are sensitive to these differences. We think that by doing so, we are better able to treat our patients as well as being a better place to work.
