Description
At St George's Hospital, no two nights are ever quite the same. As an Advanced Clinical Practitioner within our ENT, Maxillofacial and Plastics team, you'll play a key role in assessing and managing complex surgical cases in a supportive and collaborative environment.
Your shift might begin with a patient arriving via air ambulance with facial trauma, or a potential airway emergency presenting in ED.
As one of our ACPs, you'll take the lead on assessments, request urgent imaging, and carry out minor surgical procedures. You'll make independent clinical decisions and prescribe treatment with the support of a wider multidisciplinary team.
Working alongside you are two other experienced ACPs, each covering their own specialty. You'll share knowledge, provide mutual support, and hand over as a team at the end of your shift.
This role offers variety, challenge and the chance to work at the top of your scope. From minor procedures to major trauma, you'll develop your clinical expertise in a team that values innovation, professional growth, and high-quality patient care.
