Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen within United Lincolnshire Hospitals for experienced Advanced Critical Care Practitioners (ACCP's) to join our team.

There is also a development opportunity for NMC/ HCPC registered professionals to become trainee advanced critical care practitioners (ACCP's) within critical care.

We are seeking highly motivated, passionate and ambitious personnel to support the growth of our new innovative workforce within critical care.

Applicants are welcomed from those professional groups that are eligible to undertake non-medical prescribing under current statutory requirements. You will be a highly motivated team player that possesses excellent verbal and written communication skills.

In this advanced training role, the post holder will learn to provide expert clinical management to patients requiring levels 1-3 care in critical care in a role traditionally performed by medical staff.

The post holder will work in a supernumary training capacity for 2 years practising under direct or indirect supervision of a consultant supervisor.

This will encompass training in the skills of advanced clinical assessment, examination, diagnosis and treatment of the critically ill patient.

The post holder will be expected to register as a trainee ACCP with the Faculty of intensive care medicine (FICM) and undertake a programme of education to achieve a Masters level qualification in Advanced Critical Care Practice and independent prescribing.

This will all meet the FICM knowledge, skills, and competencies and when achieved meet full ACCP FICM membership when completed.
