Advanced Paramedic Practitioner

Advanced Paramedic Practitioner & Trainee Advanced Paramedic Practitioner

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Advanced Paramedic Practice (APP) Team in WAST as either a qualified APP or a Trainee APP (TAPP).

TAPPs will work rotationally as a patient-facing clinician to deliver care, access patient pathways and manage a patient caseload in the emergency, urgent and wider unscheduled care settings.

A number of TAPP roles exist across the Trust and successful applicants will be located as close to their home location as possible.
- To provide advanced clinical interventions and drug therapies.
- To act as an independent practitioner using advanced skills to assess, diagnose, treat, develop and implement plans of care.
- To work towards providing expert advanced practice and associated leadership of unscheduled care provision that crosses professional and organisational boundaries in emergency, urgent and unscheduled care patients.
- To act as an expert advisor for patients, carers and all levels of operational clinicians.
- To take a key role in the development of unscheduled care, to enhance patient care services drawing on multiple research and development methodologies.
- Responds to emergency and urgent calls including driving under blue light conditions.

Both the APP and TAPP positions are a permanent post, and the TAPP positions will develop into a full APP role following the successful completion of their training contract. If any member of staff does not successfully complete the full MSc, they will be provided the opportunity to relocate to a vacant or relief band 6 paramedic role.

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.
