Job description

Frailty Advanced Clinical Practitioner | Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust

Company:

Company: Buckinghamshire Healthcare Trust

The opportunity has arisen to be part of our expanding multi-disciplinary frailty team and to have the opportunity to provide autonomous clinical support to the care of patients undertaking frailty health assessments: diagnoses, treating, and discharging patients within their own competence.

The Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) will provide expert care and treatment to patients within agreed protocols and clinical guidelines. However, the ACP also has the ability to make decisions outside these frameworks, where necessary based on best practice.

The postholder will also be expected to rotate between our acute site at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, covering front door services across our emergency floor and at our community sites at Amersham and Buckingham Hospitals, supporting with care delivery oversight within the community in-patient ward and undertaking independent outpatient clinics linked to Inter-Neighbourhood Teams providing proactive as well as preventative care for frail patients.

The Trust operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and the post holder will be required to work flexibly to accommodate a developing 24hr frailty model of care.
