Respiratory Advanced Clinical Practitioner/3rd year Trainee Advanced Clinical Practitioner

B8a Respiratory Advanced Clinical Practitioner/B7 3rd year Trainee Advanced Clinical Practitioner

An exceptional opportunity has arisen to join our award-winning, innovative, and dynamic Respiratory Service.

With secured new funding, we are expanding our highly successful teams to enhance the Acute Respiratory Virtual Ward. This is a pivotal moment to be part of an evolving and progressive service.

We welcome applications from experienced Advanced Clinical Practitioners (ACP), Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANP), or Trainee ACPs in their final year of training. This role is central to the development of the Acute Respiratory Virtual Ward, providing expert respiratory care to patients—whether on hospital admission, during their stay, or within their usual place of care via the virtual ward. You will work closely with a wider multidisciplinary team (MDT) and collaborate with specialist teams, including other virtual ward services.

We are seeking a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional with expertise in complex respiratory care. A commitment to delivering and promoting high-quality, evidence-based care is essential. As a senior team member, you will also engage with key stakeholders, including primary care, to drive service excellence and innovation.

This is an opportunity not to be missed—join us on this exciting journey and make a real impact in respiratory care.

Main duties of the job

The Virtual Ward is an exciting new service offering home-based care to patients who would otherwise occupy a hospital bed. The care is delivered by a specialist workforce using face-to-face assessments and an integrated pathway to safely support patients in their own home.

The developing Virtual Ward is looking at technology to assist with virtual assessment and monitoring to support the specialist in caring for people at home.

Working closely with other regional experts, you will work both independently and as part of the supportive multi-disciplinary team, providing care that is underpinned by a culture of research and innovation.

This post will be predominantly based at Wexham Park Hospital, Slough. The role will be to assess, diagnose, and implement a treatment plan for patients with respiratory illness, facilitating virtual ward care where appropriate and desired.

Integration into the wider respiratory team is essential; therefore, some time will be spent working from community sites and facilitating domiciliary care (approximately 4 shifts per month).

The role requires flexibility in working patterns and is planned to cover a 7-day service in the future.
