Advanced Clinical Practitioner Health Care of the Older Person

Band 8a

Trosolwg o'r swydd

We have an opportunity for a highly motivated, knowledgeable and enthusiastic qualified Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) to join our Health Care of the Older Persons (HCOP) team.  Full time or part-time applicants are welcome to apply. 

The team consists of nine qualified ACPs and two trainee ACP’s, with a physiotherapy and nursing background. We support the emergency pathways (Medical Admissions/ soon to be new Geriatric Assessment Unit) however our main role is to support the seven acute HCOP wards across both sites on a rotational basis with desirable fixed working pattern.

Being one of the largest specialities within NUH, HCOP is a dynamic and ever changing environment with opportunities for innovation and expansion of our existing services to frail older adults both within the hospital and community.

This is an opportunity for any qualified  ACP who have an interest in geriatrics/HCOP, if you are an ACP in another speciality who is looking for a change and a new challenge we are able to support the transition from another speciality by offering supervision/supernumerary period to build on specific geriatric competencies/skills. Full time and part time applicants are welcome to apply.
