Summary

A Vacancy at Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust.

We are delighted to offer an opportunity for an Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) to join medical Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) within the Directorate of Urgent and Emergency Care at Oldham Care Organisation. This is a permanent, full time position (37.5 hours per week). An MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice is essential, however we welcome applications from newly qualified, almost qualified and experienced ACPs who have a real passion in admission avoidance.

SDEC boasts a diverse team of ACPs who are supported by medical and nursing staff. Autonomously assessing, investigating and managing same day emergency medical patients will be your primary role; also, you will in-reach into the Emergency Department (ED) as well as supporting referrals from GPs and NWAS. The ACP team, together with the consultant Clinical Lead, the nursing team and clerical staff, are committed to the ongoing success of SDEC through innovative pathway development and collaborative working, both in secondary and primary care. Essentially, we strive to ensure the right person receives access to the right care at the right time, by the right person.

Patient experience of SDEC is of fundamental importance to our reputation and growth, and we work hard to exceed patient expectations. You will possess highly developed interpersonal skills and be an authentic and values-based individual.

Your clinical caseload will be diverse, and case management should be underpinned by a dedicated approach to patient-centred care and collaborative working alongside our multi-disciplinary teams, to ensure a tailored management plan is put in place which addresses both current issues and proactively looks to prevent potential issues which may arise. Sound clinical reasoning and risk management are key skills required to ensure that we can safely avoid admissions and continue to monitor patients via an ambulatory pathway.

The Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust (NCA) provides hospital and integrated health and social care services to over one million people living across Greater Manchester. Our 20,000 colleagues care for people in hospital and in the community, working across Bury, Rochdale, Oldham and Salford, to save and improve lives.

As a large NHS trust, we are committed to enhancing the health of our local population by delivering consistently high standards of care and working closely with local authorities and key partners. We believe in our power and potential to make a difference, and we're always looking for people who demonstrate our three core values: care, appreciation, and inspiration to join our team.

In return, we can offer you a job role with purpose and flexibility. The size and scale of the NCA means we can provide more challenge and opportunities so your career can always be moving in the right direction. By joining us, you can also access a competitive benefits package, including a fantastic annual leave allowance, flexible working opportunities, and protected hours for health and wellbeing activities, helping you to achieve more personal downtime and a better work-life balance.
