7 months ago


Norwich, United Kingdom Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust Full time

Are you wanting to develop your autonomy as an Advanced Clinical Practitioner?

We are a growing multidisciplinary service managing the advanced practice within Urgent Community Response, Community Virtual Ward and Community Inpatient Units across Norfolk and Waveney.

Our ACP workforce are from a variety of disciplines including nursing, paramedic and physiotherapy with backgrounds in primary, secondary and tertiary care covering a multitude of specialties.

This is an ACP led model which provides additional clinical and technology enabled support to a complex caseload of patients in their own homes and within a community inpatient setting, who would otherwise be admitted to an acute hospital, or supporting patients being discharged.

You will make initial and follow up assessments of patients both in stable and unstable phases of their disease. Implementation of diagnostic skills including full history, appropriate clinical examination and request of investigations where required.

You will contribute to developing and progressing the care provided by relevant services by looking at alternative ways of delivering care, alternative pathways for patients and developing the ACP model to provide the care required by the Norfolk & Waveney population and the ICS.

We would welcome NMC Registrants residing across Norfolk and Waveney as many of our services are replicated across the sector.
