Overview
You will work as part of the clinician rota and, in year 1, operate under direct supervision and in year 2 under indirect supervision, ensuring the safe assessment, management, referral and discharge of patients across the ENT team within the Head and neck directorate. You should be willing to undertake a Masters level qualification in advanced clinical practice, which will incorporate the independent prescriber module.
Role and Training
The TACP will play a key role in providing care to our patients and will work closely with the wider medical team in the department to drive standards of care and innovation, supporting education, research and audit and developing practice. The post holder will attend university 20% of their working week and 80% clinically in the workplace. You will be expected to develop across the 4 pillars of advanced practice: clinical practice, education, research and leadership/management.
Programme Details
You will be working in a busy and dynamic specialty which sees patients with a wide range of presentations and serves a large and diverse population. The post holder will undertake a 2 year Masters programme in Advanced Clinical Practice (ACP) to enable them to work towards independent autonomous clinical practice as an Advanced Clinical Practitioner in training. The Masters programme consists of a combination of university and work-based learning. As part of the programme, the post holder will be released for a designated period to successfully complete their study in preparation for their future Advanced Clinical Practitioner role. The areas for work-based learning will be discussed and agreed upon successful appointment and will relate to the specific competencies required to meet the needs of the service. Successful completion of the programme and development as an ACP requires engagement in all aspects of the Masters programme.
You will be allocated a mentor who may be a Doctor, Consultant nurse or an Advanced Practitioner to support achievement of the clinical skills required to fulfil the role and to meet the needs of the Masters programme. The trainee will be identifiable in their new role as an Advanced Clinical Practitioner in training.
