An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced and motivated  ACP to join our growing Virtual Ward Service.

The Virtual Ward operates virtual beds across Nottinghamshire, delivering hospital-level care in patients' own homes through both admission avoidance and early supported discharge pathways. Working in partnership with Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, NEMS and primary care colleagues, the service plays a vital role in supporting system flow and reducing unnecessary hospital admissions.

As an ACP, you will work autonomously as an expert clinician, managing a complex caseload of patients who would otherwise require acute hospital admission. You will provide advanced assessment, diagnosis, treatment and clinical decision-making whilst working as part of a highly skilled multidisciplinary team.

This role offers a unique opportunity to influence the future development of Virtual Wards across Nottinghamshire, contributing to service improvement, education, leadership and research whilst delivering outstanding patient care.
