Our values define who we are as #TeamUHD. They underpin everything we do now and in the future. They define how we treat our patients, visitors, and each other, our valued teammates and colleagues.
UHD are investing in services across the Trust, with many being transformed and developed following merger and the New Hospital Programme.
This means that some services may move site this year or next, either temporarily or long term. Recruiting Managers interviewing for this role will be happy to answer any specific questions that you have about this at interview.
There is a planned move for this service, when this role and base of work will relocate to Bournemouth site. Upon relocation of the role/service, excess mileage allowance / reimbursement will not apply, and any travel between the postholder's home and work base will be classified as a commute. Any other changes unrelated to this, will be handled in line with Trust/National terms and conditions.
Following final BEACH move- base site will be RBH.
Successful applicants must be willing and able to successfully undertake a MSc in ACP (if not already obtained) as well as programme of work-placed based education, culminating in credentialing as an ACP with the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM)- Paediatric credentialed.
Successful candidates will be enrolled on an MSc Advanced Clinical Practitioner course at a local HEI, undertaking a range of clinically-focused modules in line with the requirements for the role, including independent prescribing (if not already held).
You will also attend study days, life support courses such as ALS and ETC, and regular teaching sessions within the department.
This trainee role is at Agenda for Change Band 7 with uplift to Band 8a on successful credentialing with RCEM. Therefore, the length of the training period may vary, dependent on previous experience and achievement of academic modules and RCEM competencies.
