Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen to appoint a band 7 advanced clinical practitioner (ACP) to join our teams working within the Breast, Endocrine, Skin and Sarcoma Unit at University Hospitals Dorset.


We are looking for an energetic nurse with proven ability to work autonomously in an advanced practice role, and who has a zest to make a difference in the care of those experiencing life changing treatment.

A Advanced Clinical Practitioner qualification is essential, along with a non-medical prescribing qualification.

As there is a significant oncology component to the post, previous experience in medical or surgical oncology is desirable but not essential, as training will be provided.

More important in this role will be a nurse who is highly organised, motivated to learn, with excellent communication and team working skills.


To be responsible for the rapid assessment, diagnostics, and treatment of individuals within the breast and soft tissue service using an advanced level of professional accountability, autonomy, and judgement, underpinned by Masters level theory and experience.

This includes highly complex decision-making across a broad range of differentiated and undifferentiated individual presentations and complex situations, synthesising information from multiple sources to make appropriate, evidence-based judgements and/or diagnoses.


Base Location:
Royal Bournemouth Hospital but you will be required to work across site.


Interview Date: 26th April 2023

Our values define who we are as #TeamUHD. They underpin everything we do now and in the future. They define how we treat our patients, visitors, and each other, our valued team mates and colleagues


The post holder is expected to be able to:

  • Undertake breast fast track clinics which involve assessing new patients, organising investigations and making appropriate management plans.
  • Manage patients with benign breast disease presentations
  • Manage emergency breast patients with infections and abscesses
  • Undertake soft tissue assessment, organise investigations and make appropriate management plans.
  • Manage some complex wounds and seromas in conjunction with the CNS team.
  • Support the sarcoma service with decision making and MDT meeting preparation.
  • Present patients at both the breast & sarcoma MDT meetings.
  • Run breast cancer follow up clinics.
  • Support the clinical nurse specialists and cancer support workers with the Remote Monitoring system for Breast cancer patientled follow up.
