ACP / Trainee ACP - Acute Medicine

The closing date is 02 February 2026

Job summary

Are you a qualified ANP/ACP or currently in the final stages of an ANP/ACP training pathway looking for a new challenge?

Band 8A (trainee Band 7)

Do you want to work in services where we are challenging the traditional flow of patients through the system and finding new ways of giving inpatient treatment on an outpatient basis? If so then this new opportunity may be for you.

We are advertising for a rotational post within Acute Medicine based at Frimley Park Hospital, Camberley which will give the successful post holder ability to work within our Medical SDEC Unit and our Virtual Ward (dependent on experience).

This is a 12 month fixed term contract for maternity cover

With a key focus on expanding and improving our service we have ongoing links with the national and regional NHSE SDEC team, and our services have been the subject of various case studies and pilots for national work. We have a focus on increasing access from 999/111/Primary Care and are keen to continue to expand and deliver cutting edge and be at the forefront of this exciting and expanding speciality.

We are also one of the first trusts to offer a virtual ward within acute medicine to give further alternatives to admission and are currently aiming to expand this team further in the coming months with us managing almost 7000 patients through this service in it's first 3 years.

Main duties of the job

This is primarily a clinical role in assessment, diagnosis and management of patients within the Acute Medicine but candidates will also be expected to work across the other pillars of advanced practice.

We have highly functioning Acute Medicine SDEC units on both our Frimley Park and Wexham Park sites which aim to provide rapid assessment and decision making, urgent investigations and treatment to avoid unnecessary admissions and improve the patient pathway for over 40% of the acute medical take.

We also have ACP roles within our UEC Virtual Ward and so are now able to offer rotation through these three areas (dependent on experience) to give higher job variability and experience in a multitude of environments.
