Band 7 Trainee ACP
NHS AfC: Band 7
Job overview
The trainee Advanced Clinical Practitioner (t-ACP) will be practicing under supervision as a trainee within clinical placement areas to provide advanced patient-centred care. This will encompass the skills of assessment, examination, diagnosis and treatment within an agreed scope of practice throughout the clinical placements.
The t-ACP will, under supervision, assist in the safe assessment, management, referral and
discharge of patients with undifferentiated and undiagnosed presentations in any area of the
clinical placement.
Throughout the training programme the post holder will develop the skills of an autonomous
practitioner ensuring that evidence based practice is inherent in all aspects of care and treatment.
Main duties of the job
On completion the practitioner will have demonstrated clinical expertise, competence, confidence
to be able to work within an autonomous and defined sphere of practice, maintaining records
in collaboration with healthcare colleagues.
This training programme will equip the post holder with the skills and knowledge to utilise and extend their existing primary field of professional healthcare practice.
The validated training programme will create opportunities and forums to consolidate theory and practice at an advanced level using specialist knowledge and evidence based practice.
The t-ACP will develop skills in triage of new referrals within clinical placements independently or with clinical/ medical colleagues and in making onward referrals, maintaining professional and legal responsibility and accountability for all aspects of their own work.
The t-ACP will maintain and ensure provision of expert clinical care for the patients within a complex case load under their management, and that of other staff. The trainee ACP will be instrumental in supporting redesign of patient flow and patient referrals to support an integrated health care model cross cutting Primary and Secondary care.
