Medical Nurse Practitioner

Our Ambulatory Emergency Care (AEC) Unit receives adult medical referrals from ED, GPs and WMAS. The core principle of AEC is that many patients requiring urgent assessment can be safely managed the same day, avoiding unnecessary admission or limiting hospital stay to a few hours.

The Band 6 Medical Nurse Practitioner (MNP) is a specialist acute clinician responsible for the autonomous assessment, examination, investigation, diagnosis and management of patients presenting with acute and often undifferentiated medical conditions. The post holder must make timely, high-level clinical decisions to support safe same-day care, appropriate escalation or admission where required.

This role demands advanced clinical assessment skills and recent, demonstrable experience within acute medicine, AMU, AEC/SDEC or emergency care settings. The MNP must be competent in interpreting diagnostics, managing complex and deteriorating patients, and initiating evidence-based care without direct supervision in a high-acuity, fast-paced environment.

The role provides senior clinical leadership, supports patient flow and admission avoidance, and ensures safe, timely care aligned with acute medicine standards. This is a specialist acute post and cannot be undertaken safely without current, relevant acute competence and proven autonomous practice experience.
