Qualified Advanced Clinical Practitioner - Adult Emergency Department
We are seeking an enthusiastic and dynamic individual for a qualified ACP post within the Emergency Department at Whittington Health, based at the main hospital site in Archway. This post is based in the adult ED and applicants must demonstrate significant ED experience as an ACP. We welcome applications from ACPs who also have paediatric ED experience and can work across both areas. The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate competency in all areas of the adult ED (Urgent Treatment Centre, Majors, Resuscitation, Rapid Assessment) and will have completed the academic aspects of ACP training including an MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice and non-medical prescribing. They should be preparing to submit their portfolio for credentialling as an Emergency Medicine ACP by the Royal College of Emergency Medicine within 12 months of appointment.
Our qualified ACPs work on a rolling rota incorporating day, late and night shifts. The shift length is currently 10.5 hours. We offer an 80:20 split between clinical and non-clinical work, providing ACPs with the opportunity to undertake other relevant activities related to advanced clinical practice. These include service improvement, audit, teaching, patient safety, responding to complaints, report writing and participation in research. We are keen for the team to be active participants throughout the department, developing special interests and continuing their professional and clinical development post-credentialling.

Whittington Health serves a richly diverse population and works hard to ensure that all our services are fair and equally accessible to everyone. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the way we look after our staff. We aim to employ a workforce which is as representative as possible of this population, so we are open to the value of differences in age, disability, gender, marital status, pregnancy and maternity, race, sexual orientation, and religion or belief. The Trust believes that as a public sector organisation we have an obligation to have recruitment, training, promotion and other formal employment policies and procedures that are sensitive to these differences. We think that by doing so, we are better able to treat our patients as well as being a better place to work.
