Job description

Join to apply for the Advanced Clinical Practitioner role at Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust.

We are pleased to offer an opportunity for an Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) to join the Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) team within the Directorate of Urgent and Emergency Care at Oldham Care Organisation. This is a permanent, full-time position (37.5 hours per week). An MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice is essential, but we welcome applications from newly qualified, nearly qualified, and experienced ACPs who are passionate about admission avoidance.

SDEC boasts a diverse team of ACPs supported by medical and nursing staff. Your primary role will involve autonomously assessing, investigating, and managing same-day emergency medical patients. You will also in-reach into the Emergency Department (ED) and support referrals from GPs and NWAS. The team, led by the consultant Clinical Lead, along with nursing and clerical staff, is committed to innovative pathway development and collaborative working across secondary and primary care, ensuring the right care at the right time by the right person.

Patient experience is fundamental to our reputation and growth. You will need highly developed interpersonal skills and an authentic, values-based approach.

Informal chats and visits are encouraged. Please contact Lynda Emerson at [e-mail] for more information.

Your clinical caseload will be diverse, and case management should be patient-centered and collaborative, addressing current issues and proactively preventing potential problems. Sound clinical reasoning and risk management are crucial to safely avoid admissions and monitor patients via an ambulatory pathway.

The Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust (NCA) provides hospital and integrated health and social care services to over one million people across Greater Manchester. Our 20,000 colleagues work in hospitals and communities across Bury, Rochdale, Oldham, and Salford, aiming to save and improve lives.

We are committed to high standards of care and working closely with local authorities and partners. We believe in our ability to make a difference and seek individuals who embody our core values: care, appreciate, and inspire.

We offer a role with purpose and flexibility, with opportunities for career progression. Benefits include a competitive package, generous annual leave, flexible working, and protected hours for health and wellbeing activities.
