Advanced Clinical Practitioner - Weaning and Ventilation Service

NORTH WEST REGIONAL SPINAL INJURIES CENTRE

Are you looking for the challenge of a new post to help develop and assist in the delivery of respiratory services in our Regional Spinal Injuries Centre?

If so, then this is the job for you, working as part of an experienced friendly multi-disciplinary team in our purpose-built centre. The centre provides comprehensive management of patients who have sustained spinal cord injury. Specialist ventilatory support services are also provided to people living in all areas of the UK and occasionally elsewhere in Europe.

In-service training and education form an integral part of the work experience and personal development is given a high priority.

The post holder will be expected to work closely with other members of the respiratory and multi-disciplinary teams (including community-based teams), liaising with the Spinal Injuries consultants and case management team regarding the acute and long term respiratory and ventilatory conditions. The post holder will work closely with colleagues across the Trust and referring centres to ensure the delivery of evidence based respiratory practice and will have the opportunity to achieve a high level of knowledge in respiratory care, ventilation and secretion management.
