Join to apply for the Senior Advanced Nurse/Clinical Practitioner role at NHS Ayrshire & Arran

The well-established Advanced Nurse Practitioner service in Raigmore Hospital is expanding and introducing new nursing roles to further enhance the ANP and medical workforce.

We are currently seeking applicants from experienced advanced nurse practitioners to join the department of medicine specifically working across the acute medicine unit which comprises of acute medical assessment unit, ambulatory emergency care (AEC) and medical high dependency (MHDU).

Post holders will spend most of the majority of their clinical time on the assessment unit and AEC but will be expected to have the ability to work across all of these areas if required. You will be aligned to the medical rota equivalent of a junior middle grade trainee (FY2- ST2). The service runs 7 days per week with post holders mainly work daytime hours including weekends with a requirement to work approx. 1 in 3 weekends.

Senior ANP’s will be expected to manage patients who have higher degrees of medical complexity, this will often be without any immediate face to face senior decision-making support. They will also be expected to have the practical skills to manage unselected medical patients without immediate senior medical support.

Senior ANP's will also be expected to supervise junior medical trainees, medical students and advanced nurse practitioners who are attached to the acute medical unit during their shift.

The post holders will work specifically in acute medicine and will spend a minimum of 80% of their clinical time within this speciality. In addition you will be allocated 10-20% non-clinical time to support professional activities (SPA) and as such will be allocated a specific quality improvement portfolio linked to the four pillars of practice. SPA activities may include CPD, trainee supervision, teaching, quality improvement, induction, audit, research and revalidation. Job plans and portfolio work streams will be agreed by the lead ANP and Clinical Lead for medicine.

Role

We are seeking a highly experienced Advanced Nurse Practitioner who will embrace the challenge of this evolving role. Applicants must have acute hospital experience at advanced practice level and have achieved an appropriate Masters level qualification in Advanced Practice which has enabled competence in:

• Clinical assessment
• Clinical reasoning, judgement and diagnostic decision making
• Anatomy and pathophysiology
• Non medical prescribing- V300
• Leading, delivering and evaluating care
• Practice learning/transferable work based learning
