Advanced Clinical Practitioner - Emergency Department

The Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) in Emergency Care is a dynamic clinician who is responsible for delivering safe, evidence-based patient care across all the Emergency Care areas.

They balance clinical complexity while delivering timely, patient-centred care. The ACP applies comprehensive assessment, requests and interprets investigations, formulates differential diagnoses, initiates and evaluates treatment plans, prescribes independently, and coordinates referral, admission or discharge pathways. The ACP is expected to work within their sphere of competence, using advanced clinical reasoning, evidence-based practice and effective risk management to deliver safe, high-quality care across a broad range of ages, conditions and complexity. The ACP contributes to the delivery and development of high-quality services through leadership, education, quality improvement, research and clinical governance activities in line with local and national priorities.
