Band 7 (progression post moving to band 8A once criteria is met)
We are seeking a dynamic and motivated Trainee ACP to join our Acute Medicine team, rotating between Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) and Nye Bevan (Urgent Care and Acute Medicine Wards). This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a fast-paced, evolving service, including the development of a new Acute Assessment Unit.
You will play a pivotal role in delivering high-quality medical care, supporting admission avoidance, and facilitating timely discharges/referrals. Working closely with a multidisciplinary team, you will contribute to innovative patient pathways and service improvement.
Applicants must be actively engaged in a MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice and demonstrate a commitment to professional development. This role offers excellent exposure to acute care, clinical decision-making, and leadership opportunities within a supportive environment.
Prif ddyletswyddau'r swydd
As a Trainee ACP, you will develop the skills to independently assess, diagnose, and manage patients with undifferentiated presentations across urgent and emergency care settings. Under supervision, you will undertake comprehensive assessments, request and interpret diagnostics, initiate treatment plans, and perform clinical procedures within your scope. You’ll be supported to recognise and respond to deteriorating patients, contribute to safe discharge planning, and apply evidence-based practice.
You will work closely with the multidisciplinary team, contributing to patient flow, safety, and shared decision-making. As your competence grows, you’ll provide clinical advice, support junior staff, and participate in handovers and departmental meetings.
Leadership development includes involvement in service improvement, clinical audits, and supervision of learners. You’ll engage in teaching, support education programmes, and contribute to the development of ACP competencies.
This role supports your progression through the MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice, with structured supervision and competency-based development. You’ll be encouraged to participate in research, quality improvement, and innovation to enhance patient care and service delivery
