Job description

Go back Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust

Advanced Clinical Practitioner (Nurse or AHP)

The closing date is 20 July 2025

The Urgent Community Response Team (UCR) is a rapid assessment, diagnostic, treatment service to reduce unscheduled admissions for people with complex health needs, exacerbation of long-term conditions and frailty. Patients referred to the service are triaged to be seen 'within 2 hours', or 'same day' for urgent assessment. The H@H Frailty Virtual Ward supports patients who would otherwise be in hospital to receive acute care and treatment in their own home. This approach reduces the risk of deterioration that may require an admission.

You will be required to work with a high degree of autonomy and complex decision making underpinned by a master's level award that encompasses the four pillars of clinical practice- leadership and management, education and research, with demonstration of core capabilities and area specific clinical competence.

You will manage clinical care in partnership with individuals, families and carers, including analysis and synthesis of complex problems across a range of settings, enabling innovative solutions to enhance people's experience and improve outcomes.

You will exercise autonomy and decision making in complex, uncertainty and varying levels of risk, holding accountability for decisions made.

You will work alongside Consultant Practitioners and other ACP's, clinically supervising trainee ACPs to develop.

Main duties of the job

Demonstrate a critical understanding of their broadened level of responsibility and autonomy and the limits of own competence and professional scope of practice, including when working with complexity, risk, uncertainty and incomplete information.

*Act on professional judgement about when to seek help, demonstrating critical reflection on own practice, self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and openness to change.

*Work in partnership with individuals, families and carers, using a range of assessment methods as appropriate (e.g. of history-taking; holistic assessment; identifying risk factors; mental health assessments; requesting, undertaking and/or interpreting diagnostic tests; and conducting health needs assessments).

*Demonstrate effective communication skills, supporting people in making decisions, planning care or seeking to make positive changes, using Health Education England's framework to promote person-centred approaches in health and care.

*Use expertise and decision-making skills to inform clinical reasoning approaches when dealing with differentiated and undifferentiated individual presentations and complex situations, synthesising information from multiple sources to make appropriate, evidence-based judgements and/or diagnoses.

*Initiate, evaluate and modify a range of interventions which may include prescribing medicines, therapies, life style advice and care.
