Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP)

Job Introduction

Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) - Sussex

The Role

Express new ideas, take initiative and save lives. Others talk about being brave, at IC24, we’re made that way.

From providing high quality integrated urgent care for over six million people, to thinking of innovative solutions for our patients – every role at IC24 is made to be brave.

Are you a reliable, dependable, skilled Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP), who is passionate and committed to delivering high quality health care in an integrated urgent care service environment?  Do you really want to make a real difference to people’s lives?

If you hold a non-medical prescriber qualification (V300 or equivalent) a Physical Assessment course level 7 or above, a minor illness qualification and some experience with palliative and End of life care and would like to join our professional team providing outstanding patient care to all ages then we would love to hear from you. As we provide an OOH service, you must be willing to work evenings and weekends.

You will be responsible for assessing, diagnosing and treating patients of all ages with minor illnesses.  As an independent prescriber, you will be responsible for safely prescribing medication to complement treatment plans for a range of medical conditions. You will usually be based at one of our dispatch points across Sussex.

This role is particularly suited to an autonomous clinician with a proven track record of delivering high quality care within the Primary Care setting with experience in dealing with a wide range of minor ailments. This is an excellent opportunity to make a difference to patients that develop an urgent care need or deteriorate during the OOH period and are therefore unable to access their own GP Surgery.   You will receive a full induction and be supported by a Clinical Lead.
