Are you passionate about frailty? Are you keen to work across traditional health and social care boundaries?
Chesterfield and Dronfield PCN is seeking an Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) to be part of our multi-disciplinary and multi-agency team of professionals working across the Chesterfield and Dronfield footprint. This is open to anyone with relevant registration.
This is an exciting and unique opportunity to be at the forefront of the delivery of our new Ageing Well model of care. Working both independently, and within our multi agency team, the role will operate across the traditional health and social care organisational boundaries, including our GP practice partners, to deliver an holistic approach to acute on day / rapid response services, enhanced care into care homes and enhanced proactive care for older people with frailty. We are looking for an Advanced Clinical Practitioner with a strong interest in working with frailty and who aspires to provide a continuous improvement approach to delivering responsive, safe, patient-centred and effective care within a neighbourhood team environment.
The service, within which the post holder would work, supports patients with multifaceted health problems living in their own homes as well as in care homes. The service liaises with care home staff, carers, families and colleagues to maintain and maximise individualised patient-centred care (including advanced care planning).
The successful post holder will work autonomously within their professional boundaries to:
- Undertake comprehensive health assessments, initial history taking, clinical assessment, physical examination, diagnosis, treatment and evaluation of their care
- Use advanced clinical decision making and assessment skills, coordinate care planning and initiate onward referrals as appropriate
- Demonstrate sound safe clinical decision–making
