Preferred applicants will require experience working at an advanced level with frail, elderly patients, with the ability to make professional, autonomous clinical decisions through history taking, physical examination and problem solving. The role will involve working autonomously, supported by Lead Advanced Nurse Practitioners and Senior Nurses and working collaboratively with all members of the multidisciplinary team.

You will assess, diagnose and manage older people within our Acute Frailty Wards in Ninewells Hospital. You will work closely with older people and their families/carers and all members of the multidisciplinary team to identify clinical issues quickly and aim to support avoidable deterioration, effective rehabilitation and discharge.

You will also work with the Discharge Hub to facilitate timely discharge and smooth, efficient and person centred transitions of care.

You will also play a key role in enhancing patient experience, assuring clinical governance and supporting the Lead Advanced Nurse Practitioner and Senior Leadership Team in the improvement and continued development of the service.

In return we offer the opportunity to work within the dynamic Division of Medicine and the successful applicants will be supported to continue to develop and demonstrate advanced level practice to maximise the wider opportunities to improve the health and social care outcomes for the population of Dundee.
