Are you an Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) looking for a new challenge or would like to train to become one? We have a fantastic opportunity for you to join our passionate and well-established ANP team in the Breast Unit.
The ANP role has been wholly embraced and supported, and this post will bring with it opportunities to further shape the future of the team.
We are looking for significant post-registration experience within the specialty of Breast. Successful candidates will work collaboratively with Consultant and multi-disciplinary teams to meet the needs of patients, supporting the delivery of policy and procedures, and providing nurse leadership as required.
The ANP team has protected time to develop skills and deliver improvements across the four pillars of advanced practice, whilst being supported by a new Lead Nurse role to ensure career development.
This role will deliver clinical activity across UHDB, primarily based at both Royal Derby Hospital and Queens Hospital Burton but also delivering our community breast pain service at various sites all over Staffordshire and Derbyshire.
This opportunity requires covering services on multiple sites; therefore, the ability to travel will be required.
If you do not meet the full requirements of the role, we will consider a Band 7 trainee role and support your development to enable you to become a Band 8a ANP.
The post holder will possess highly developed specialist knowledge and experience in breast care and clinical breast examination. The post holder is experienced in Breast Care, who, acting within their professional boundaries, will provide expert professional advice and patient care, from initial history taking, clinical assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and evaluation of care.
They will demonstrate safe clinical decision-making and expert care for patients referred for investigation, diagnosis, and treatment of malignant and benign breast disorders.
The post holder will be qualified in clinical breast examination and will run nurse-led clinics within Breast Care. The post holder will develop and work within referral guidelines, clinical policies, and relevant procedure guidelines required for this role.
