Development of specific outpatient work streams for trainee and qualified ACPs with consultant oversight.
Innovation and expansion of SDEC/Virtual Ward pathways in close conjunction with the Vascular clinical lead.
When not in ED/SDEC/Virtual ward, responsibilities will include specialist in-reach for patient referred to Vascular across the Trust.
Key deliverables –
