Summary

The successful candidate will provide advanced clinical leadership within the Virtual Ward service, acting as an autonomous practitioner responsible for the assessment, diagnosis, treatment and ongoing management of patients receiving acute care in their own homes. The post holder will manage a complex caseload of patients admitted through admission avoidance and early supported discharge pathways, working closely with acute hospital consultants, General Practitioners, community services and the wider multidisciplinary team to ensure safe and effective care. Using advanced clinical assessment skills, independent prescribing and complex decision-making, the ACP will develop and implement management plans, monitor treatment response, identify deterioration and coordinate escalation where required. The role requires a high degree of professional autonomy, supported by effective multidisciplinary working and strong clinical governance arrangements. Alongside clinical practice, the ACP will contribute to the four pillars of advanced practice through leadership, education, research and service development activities. The post holder will support workforce development, supervise and educate colleagues, lead quality improvement initiatives and contribute to the ongoing evolution of Virtual Ward services across Nottinghamshire. The role offers an exciting opportunity to influence the development of innovative models of care that improve patient outcomes, reduce avoidable hospital admissions and support high-quality care closer to home.
