## Job Content

### Job overview

Are you an experienced clinician looking to take the next step in your career within women’s health and emergency care?

We’re looking for a motivated and compassionate clinician to join our Emergency Gynaecology team at University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust as a Trainee Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP). The successful candidate will primarily focus on the Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit and the Emergency Gynaecology Assessment service.

Our Emergency Gynaecology service cares for women with a wide range of acute and early pregnancy conditions. No two days are the same, and you’ll play an important role in delivering safe, kind and responsive care to patients when they need it most.

As a trainee ACP, you’ll be supported through both academic study and clinical practice to develop the skills needed for advanced practice.

You should:

- Be a registered healthcare professional (for example nurse, midwife or allied health professional)
- Have significant post-registration clinical experience in gynaecology
- Be able to work well within a team and communicate confidently with patients and colleagues
- Have an interest in women’s health, emergency care and advanced clinical practice
- Be willing to undertake or already be undertaking ACP training at Master’s level

We’d really encourage informal conversations or visits if you’d like to find out more about the role and the team before applying.

Interview: June 23rd

### Main duties of the job

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.

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 and regular teaching sessions within the department.

Therefore, the length of the training period may vary, dependent on previous experience and achievement of academic modules and competencies.
