Warwick, United Kingdom South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are looking for an ACP with an interest in OPAT to join our established ACP team who are responsible for the day to day management of OPAT patients which includes an outpatient and inpatient case load (including ACP led clinics) and will involve assessment of patients in their own place of residence including nursing homes with support from the OPAT specialist nurse team. Given this a full, clean driving license is essential.

The post is full time and will involve daytime working including evenings.

Consideration will be given as a band 7 work-towards post for someone who already has 2 years of the ACP masters including prescribing and who expects to complete the ACP masters within the next 6 months.

Applicants from different base professions will be considered (e.g nursing, pharmacy, physiotherapy, paramedic) providing they have the appropriate skills for the role.

If you think this is a role for you then we look forward to hearing from you.

The post-holders will exercise advanced clinical skills, levels of judgement, discretion and decision-making in acute medical care, demonstrated through, and supported by, professional portfolio evidence.

You will work collaboratively with the multi-disciplinary OPAT team and allied specialties to ensure efficiency and effectiveness in the provision of accessible, high-quality acute medical care at Warwick Hospital.

Clinical duties will include a combination of shifts in the OPAT outpatient clinic, reviewing potential OPAT patients on the ward and assessing OPAT patients in their place of residence (including nursing homes).

Regular evening work is required and weekend work may be required in the future.

Approximately 20% of the role will be designated to the ongoing development of innovative practice, service improvement and standards of care.

The post-holders will be expected to contribute significantly to clinical governance, audit, research, training and education, providing leadership to the Acute Medicine team in one or more of these areas.
