We are looking for an established Advanced Clinical Practitioner to support in the running and continued development of an integrated SDEC within AMU.

The unit has approximately 50 admissions a day Monday-Friday including ED, SDEC and GPs attendances and is well supported by the Acute Physicians'.

We recognise the profile of Advanced Practice needs raising within the department and a key element of this role would be in helping advocate for and building an ACP workforce to meet the future demands of the service.

To be responsible for the rapid assessment, diagnostics and treatment of patients within the Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) and Acute Medicine setting, using an advanced level of professional accountability, autonomy and judgement.

This includes highly complex decision-making across a broad range of situations/conditions.
