A Vacancy at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
We are excited to announce the opening of our state-of-the-art Orthopaedic Centre in Winchester, scheduled for July 2025. This new facility is a testament to our Trust’s ongoing commitment to enhancing healthcare services in the region and working collaboratively with orthopaedic services across Hampshire and Isle of Wight to serve patients across our communities.
The ACP role is a state-of-the-art role in the field of advanced practice, which crosses professional boundaries, undertaking traditional medical roles and leading inter-professional practice. It is a model of excellence in the delivery of holistic care to arthroplasty patients at the exciting newly opening Hampshire Orthopaedic Centre.
The Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) will:
• Perform at an advanced level (evidenced by a professional portfolio) under the core capabilities across the four pillars of Advanced Practice (Health Education England Multi-Professional Framework 2017):
1. Clinical Practice
2. Leadership and Management
3. Research
4. Education
The successful applicant will be involved in establishing and delivering a high-quality service using state of the art models of care, for patients undergoing elective joint replacement surgery by facilitating an ambulatory lower limb arthroplasty pathway. In addition to clinical supervision of the trainees, you will work with key stakeholders to develop clinical pathways, audit and governance structures, that will establish a culture of innovation, productivity and constant improvement amongst the wider multidisciplinary team. Ultimately, this will result in the provision of medical care for day case and inpatient arthroplasty patients; the coordination of admissions and list planning; discharge planning and liaising with Anaesthetic and Surgical Consultants, escalating where appropriate.
If this role appeals and you have the required knowledge, experience, skills, motivation and resourcefulness we welcome your application
