About the role
The post holder will practice autonomously as an Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) within the Acute Oncology Service (AOS), providing expert, patient-centred care. They will utilise advanced clinical assessment, history taking, and clinical reasoning to diagnose and formulate personalized management plans. As a Non-Medical Prescriber, they will initiate pharmacological interventions to ensure timely treatment within an agreed scope of practice.
A key focus will be ensuring patients with Malignancy of Unknown Origin (MUO) receive rapid oncology input, MDT discussion, and streamlined symptom management. The practitioner will monitor service impact via key metrics (e.g., length of stay) and collaborate with the Lead Clinician to meet Quality Standards and SELCA guidance. This role integrates expert practice, leadership, education, and research.
Trainee ACP (Band 7) applications will be considered for candidates who have already completed modules in Advanced Clinical Assessment and Non-Medical Prescribing.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will ensure patients access the right care at the right time through high-quality AOS specialist nursing and expert advice for SACT complications. A primary focus is the continual audit of neutropenic sepsis pathways to ensure trust-wide "door-to-needle" compliance and rapid specialty referral.
The practitioner will drive acute oncology ambulatory pathways to manage symptomatic patients and post-ED reviews, directly reducing unnecessary admissions. By participating in daily oncology ward rounds, they will ensure the delivery of appropriate care plans, streamlining investigations and facilitating timely palliative care referrals.
Acting as a trust-wide and community resource, the post holder will provide expert guidance on investigation and treatment pathways for new or suspected cancers. They will champion efficient, patient-focused service models for safe treatment, referral, and discharge of undifferentiated presentations.
Additionally, the role carries responsibility for leading clinical practice development--including the creation of multidisciplinary policies and protocols. The post holder will maintain a 90% clinical workload, with 10% dedicated to audit, teaching, research, and professional development.
