Advanced Clinical Practitioner - Long Term Conditions

Job summary

Our Integrated Network Teams (INTs) deliver out of hospital care to people in the place they call home. We provide these services to people who are registered with a GP within North and West Bristol. The INTs are aligned to Sirona Localities, and these, in turn, are aligned to groups of GP practices, known as Primary Care Networks.

Advanced Clinical Practitioners (ACPs) - Long Term Conditions are experienced, specialist clinicians with advanced clinical skills, case management techniques and shared decision-making, who support people meeting criteria that denote very high intensity use of health care services. With specialist intensive support, these service users are able to remain safely at home and have more choice about their health care. Case management is key for the support of people with long term conditions. This role requires expert evidence based practitioner knowledge gained from extensive front line, clinical leadership and decision making and managerial experience

The Locality teams are made up of:

• Advanced Clinical Practitioners Urgent and Long-term Conditions
• Community Nurses
• Community Therapists
• Community Paramedics
• Community Support Workers
• Administrators

Main duties of the job

The purpose of this role is to work autonomously as a specialist practitioner to identify and case manage individuals with highly complex needs who require intensive community support, within their Primary Care Network (PCN) in partnership with the Integrated Network Team (INT) and the primary care team. Often these patients have complex needs with exacerbations of conditions that need to be managed in a timely fashion, whilst providing a holistic approach to support the patient to remain well at home.

As an advanced practitioner you will provide a service that focuses on achieving and demonstrating overall improvements in health care for people who are frail and have several long-term conditions. You'll also provide clinical leadership and direction to the INT, supporting the Locality Manager and Assistant Locality Manager to deliver excellent evidence based clinical outcomes. To provide organisational and service resilience, you may be expected to cross cover other Sirona teams or services.

Your role will include the leadership, development and enhancement of our Sirona-led frailty MDTs with partners across the system within the locality, including GPs, Local Authority colleagues in social care, voluntary sector and other available services to support people to age well. This will provide opportunities for service development and improvement to include working across organisations but also developing our own provision and processes to manage MDTs effectively.
