 At NUH, we are committed to supporting our ACP workforce with robust clinical governance, ongoing professional development, and clear progression pathways. You’ll have access to regular CPD, mentorship, and opportunities to contribute to education, research, and service improvement initiatives.

 This is more than just a job—it’s a chance to make a lasting impact, grow as a leader in neonatal care, and be part of a compassionate, expert team that puts babies and their families at the heart of everything we do.

Swydd-ddisgrifiad a phrif gyfrifoldebau manwl

The ACNP crosses the clinical boundaries between nursing and medical care, using advanced clinical knowledge and skills to work independently, with support provided by a Consultant Neonatologist for clinical supervision. This includes working out of hours with telephone support from a Consultant Neonatologist.

The post holders will promote a high standard of advanced clinical nursing and medical care by initiating and co-ordinating the assessment, planning, delivery and evaluation of the holistic needs of babies, parents/carers and families through evidence based clinical practice following agreed policies, protocols and guidelines.

An advanced clinical practitioner exercises independent judgement to provide all elements of clinical care using an holistic, family-centred approach, which may include assessment; planning; provision of care and treatment; diagnosis; investigation and referral; evaluation; transfer; discharge; follow-up.

ACNPs contribute to Tier 2 (Middle Grade/SpR/ST 4-7) or Tier 1 (SHO/ST1-3) rota and clinical nursing shifts, the work pattern of each individual being determined by their level of experience and competence.  There will be the opportunity as experience is gained to progress from Tier 1 to Tier 2.

The post-holders will be expected to work on average 37.5 hours per week in a shift pattern.  The shift patterns will be compliant with the European Working Time Directive and will involve shifts not more than 13 hours in length and will include working weekends and night shifts on a regular basis.  Approximately 25% of the post holder’s time will be used for nursing development and service development, education and training.

The ACNPs will work within the multidisciplinary team to deliver advanced clinical neonatal nursing and medical practice, education, support and clinical leadership. They will be easily recognisable by uniform and badge.
