The post holder will practice independently within the Consultant led Emergency Department (ED) and integrated Urgent Treatment Centre (iUTC), being a role model of the four pillars of Advanced Practice. This clinically focussed role will encompass the post holder providing exemplary patient-centred and sound evidenced based care to patients with undifferentiated and undiagnosed problems. The post holder will form part of a multi-disciplinary team aspiring to achieve local and national standards across different areas of the department, whilst providing formal and informal education, teaching, and mentorship, second opinion advice and support to junior clinicians during a span of duty. The post holder will demonstrate excellent interpersonal and communication skills and clinical attributes, enabling him/her to provide expert clinical and professional support to other clinicians and staff within their area of work of the UEC division.

Priority will be given to colleagues identified as at risk through the Trust’s redeployment process.
