Band 7 Physical Health ANP - Secure Services
Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust
***PREVIOUS APPLICANTS NEED NOT APPLY***
Are you seeking a new experience? It is well-documented that people with severe mental illness, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other psychoses, face health inequalities and often have poorer physical health than the general population. We are recruiting a Registered RGN or Dual Trained RMN with extensive RGN experience for the role of Advanced Nurse Practitioner for Physical Health for our Men's Secure Care inpatient services. Using your clinical expertise and knowledge to promote the physical health and wellbeing of our patient population, you will provide leadership and education to our multi-disciplinary team.
Main duties of the job
The main duties entail leading on specific projects related to physical healthcare within the service and developing and maintaining positive multi-disciplinary relationships and networks both within the Trust, Primary Care networks, local acute provider Trusts, and national networks which influence and develop current systems of care delivery.
