Job Description
Job overview
The Trainee ACCP will work in the Cardiothoracic Critical Care Unit (CTCCU), undertaking practical assessments in the workplace and theoretical work at University. The two-year supernumerary training includes a study day per week.
Upon completing training, you will apply to become an ACCP Member of the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine (FICM) and work as part of the medical workforce in the CTCCU. It is expected that the full MSc will be completed in the third year alongside clinical practice.
The trainee ACCP will follow the FICM curriculum and develop proficiency across the four pillars of Advanced Clinical Practice: Clinical, Leadership and Management, Education, and Research.
This trainee post depends on successful bidding for an NHSE training grant to cover university fees. Confirmation will be available in April. The successful applicant will start in September, in line with the academic year, undertaking academic training at Southampton University. The Trainee ACCP will need to regularly commute to Southampton during term time.
Continued employment and transition into a qualified ACCP post depend on successful completion of training. The post holder will transition to Band 8a when FICM membership and the full MSc in ACCP are achieved, usually 2-3 years from the start of training.
Main duties of the job
The Trainee ACCP will provide clinical management and care to patients requiring level 2 care in a role traditionally performed by medical staff. During training, a high level of clinical judgment and decision-making must be developed and achieved. The Trainee ACCP must acknowledge any limitations in their knowledge and skills and must not perform activities they do not feel competent in. The trainee must act within the code of conduct of their statutory regulator.
The scope of practice for the Trainee ACCP is defined by FICM, addressing both clinical skills and underpinning knowledge required before functioning as an Advanced Critical Care Practitioner. The Trainee ACCP will be supervised clinically by the ACCP Local Consultant Clinical Lead (LCL) until all competencies are met to the standard set by FICM and outlined within the curriculum.
