This is a very exciting opportunity for an ACP to join and integrate into the existing oncology team at Northampton General Hospital.

The post holder will provide safe and effective care through expert knowledge, critical decision making and advanced skills. They will be responsible for independently managing care through a comprehensive assessment and physical examination of cancer patients who present via the planned and emergency route. The post holder will order and interpret diagnostic tests for patients presenting with oncological and haematological emergencies and will be responsible for compiling management plans, incorporating safe non-medical prescribing practice and will work as part of a wider multi-disciplinary team.

This is a new role, and the successful post holder will have completed an MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice and will also have skills in the early detection and intervention of clinical deterioration in existing or new medical conditions. You will be confident to identify and treat complications due to systemic anti-cancer therapy, radical/palliative radiotherapy, or hormonal or bisphosphonate therapy for metastatic disease. Some common examples of conditions you will see, assess and treat will include:

- Febrile neutropenia
- Thrombocytopenia associated with bleeding
- Dehydration
- Severe vomiting or diarrhoea
- Problems with central venous access device
- Needing symptom control
- Extravasation
- Drug reactions

Advanced clinical knowledge and skills are required to work as a core member of this team. You will possess evidence of clinical leadership and managing change and possess excellent communication skills with the ability to manage resources, people and situations effectively, whilst keeping a calm head in a challenging environment.
