In this special episode of Take Aurally senior ACP James Pratt joined the DREEAM pod studio to talk about Advanced Clinical Practice in Emergency Medicine.
James and Jamie talk about:
What is an ACP and what their job role entails
James' own career and the development of the ACP team at the QMC Nottingham
What the Nottingham ACP course consists of and the course entry criteria
Issues in the development of the ACP team and how these were approached
Potential areas of future development
There's an emphasis on the education and time required to create the ACP service and how this is not a short term solution to staffing issues but rather a long term investment in our staff.
We're looking to make more episodes on ACPs in ED so please get in touch with any questions and suggestions. Remember to visit www.takeaurally.com. Both Take Aurally and NUH DREEAM can be found on both Facebook and Twitter.
