The ACP role within the Adult Emergency Department at Royal Derby Hospital offers a rewarding opportunity to combine advanced autonomous clinical practice with leadership, education, quality improvement and research.
ACPs work across all areas of the Emergency Department, including Resuscitation, Majors, Ambulatory Care and Ambulance Receiving/Triage. They assess, diagnose, treat and manage patients with undifferentiated and complex healthcare needs, working autonomously within their scope of practice while collaborating closely with the multidisciplinary team.
The role provides exposure to a diverse patient population and supports the development of advanced expertise in Emergency Medicine. ACPs play a key role in delivering timely, high-quality, patient-centred care and supporting patient flow throughout the department.
Alongside clinical duties, ACPs contribute to all four pillars of Advanced Clinical Practice through education, leadership, service development, quality improvement and research. Protected non-clinical time supports continuing professional development, supervision, teaching and project work.
Successful applicants will join an established ACP workforce with opportunities for ongoing professional development, including RCEM Credentialing following completion of MSc Advanced Clinical Practice training and attainment of substantive ACP status.
