As part of a multi-professional team, the ACP team is led by Laura Mckeon, the post holder will practice autonomously, whilst being accountable and self-directed in line with the relevant code of professional conduct. The post holder will work consistently in line with the four pillars of Advanced Clinical Practice. We are seeking an inspiring and highly skilled Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) to join our dynamic Medical Same Day Emergency Care (MSDEC) team. This is a pivotal and rewarding role at the heart of an expanding, forward-thinking service. Working closely with the MSDEC Consultant, ACP Lead and the senior nursing team, you will champion clinical excellence, drive innovation, and support the ongoing development of our predominantly ACP-led workforce. Medical Same Day Emergency Care (MSDEC) enables early senior clinical decision-making, streamlining patient assessment and treatment through direct access and referral pathways. By maximising opportunities to complete care on the same day, MSDEC helps ensure patients receive timely, appropriate support often preventing unnecessary attendance to other urgent and emergency care services such as A&E. At MSDEC at The Alexandra Hospital, we provide care for all medically expected ambulant patients, with plans for significant expansion. As part of this growth, the ACP will be integral in assessing, diagnosing, and treating the full range of medically expected patients, including those who are less ambulant or more acutely unwell.
