An opportunity for an Advanced Clinical Practitioner or Advanced Nurse Practitioner has arisen within Hospital at Night Team within Division of Medicine and Unscheduled Care in Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. We are seeking a suitably motivated colleague to join our well-established team on a permanent or secondment basis. Training will be provided. If the successful candidate is internal to NHSG, secondment will be offered for 12 months.
As an ANP/ACP joining this team, you will be expected to work predominantly nights with some expectation to work days when required to represent the team’s attendance at daytime meetings and support our medical colleagues' induction.
You will hold a PgDip in Advanced Clinical Practice or equivalent and have experience working in an advanced practice role.
Maintaining and developing your advanced practice skills, knowledge, and competence, as well as supporting that of others within the team, will also be an expectation of you in this role. We endeavour to provide ‘clinical supervision’ time to support your development. We pride ourselves as an advanced, approachable, and supportive team working as ‘one team’ alongside all staff disciplines to support patients overnight. This role is unique, allowing variation of managing the deteriorating patient, and clinical emergency response alongside unscheduled patient clerking, also with leadership and management responsibilities for trainees and Senior Healthcare Support Worker team.
