Band 6/7/8a

An exciting opportunity has arisen for two trainee Advanced Critical Care Practitioners (ACCPs) to join our Critical Care team at the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust in Truro.

The Critical Care team at RCHT seek to introduce the ACCP role with the initial appointment of two trainee ACCPs. This represents an opportunity to join a well-established, friendly and supportive team and shape the future of the ACCP role within the trust.

The ACCPs will work closely with the current critical care team and alongside medical colleagues. They work autonomously or under Consultant supervision in specific circumstances to deliver patient care to Level 2-3 critically ill patients. The role includes review of patients on acute wards and in the Emergency Department. The ACCP role is a vital component in the development of a flexible and sustainable workforce for Critical Care.

The current unit is a busy and progressive Critical Care Unit with a clear patient-centred focus and plans to increase critical care capacity in the coming months. There is an emphasis on developing health care practice through ownership, research/evidence-based practice, commitment and multidisciplinary involvement.

The role involves extensive training according to the National competency framework for ACCP. The training programme is meticulously aligned to the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine Curriculum for ACCPs with the University of Plymouth to MSC level and ultimately leading to FICM membership. Successful candidates will progress to band 7 on completion of year one competencies.

As a Trainee Advanced Critical Care Practitioner you will already be an experienced clinician ideally with extensive Critical Care knowledge, and a high level of clinical skill. Applicants are welcomed from those professional groups eligible to undertake non-medical prescribing under current statutory requirements. You will be a motivated team player who possesses excellent verbal and written communication skills. The successful candidate should possess a strong desire to develop themselves to deliver outstanding care within the four pillars of advanced clinical practice, helping to develop the advanced practice strategy within the Trust. Successful applicants will be required to undertake their MSc in Advanced Critical Care Practice through the apprenticeship programme. This will entail being supernumerary for two years during the training period to meet the requirement of Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine Membership status for ACCPs. Once fully qualified, the successful applicant will join the junior medical rota for critical care.

Apply via NHS jobs and concurrently to Plymouth University to go forward for regional selection by MS teams on the 17th June 2021.
