Candidate Advanced Nurse Practitioner (Canp) Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (Opat)

Details of the offer

HSE Mid - West are currently recruiting for the role of Candidate Advanced Nurse Practitioner (cANP) Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT). Location of the Post HSE Mid-West – Initial Assignment University Hospital Limerick

There is currently 2 permanent / whole-time vacancies available in University Hospital Limerick.

A panel may be formed as a result of this campaign for Candidate Advanced Nurse Practitioner (cANP) Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT) from which current and future, permanent and specified purpose vacancies of full or part-time duration may be filled.

Purpose of the Post The main purpose of the post is to develop the job description and supporting documentation under the direction of the Health Care Provider's Advanced Practice Stakeholder Governance Group, to enable the individual nurse to meet the NMBI Criteria for Registration as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner as set out in Advanced Practice (Nursing) Standards and Requirements (NMBI, 2017). The individual will undertake the academic preparation and develop the clinical and leadership skills, competencies and knowledge required to meet the criteria to be registered as a RANP with NMBI.
The scope of the cANP role must reflect the incremental development of expertise and as such, the cANP cannot deliver care as an autonomous practitioner.

Furthermore, the cANP will develop and submit their personal portfolio and all other necessary documentation to NMBI in order to register as a RANP.

The value of the nursing contribution as a distinct profession must be safeguarded and articulated in the development of new services led by advanced nurse practitioners, complementing rather than replacing current services delivered by doctors (NMBI 2017 p.9).

The overall purpose of the post is to provide safe, timely, evidenced based nurse-led care to patients at an advanced nursing level.
This involves undertaking and documenting a complete episode of patient care (assess, diagnose, plan, treat and discharge patients) according to collaboratively agreed protocols and scope of practice in the clinical setting; demonstrating advanced clinical and theoretical knowledge, critical thinking, clinical leadership and decision making skills.

The advanced practice role demonstrates a high degree of knowledge, skill and experience that is applied within the nurse-patient/client relationship to achieve optimal outcomes through critical analysis, problem solving and accurate decision-making (NMBI, 2017).

Central to this is the provision of quality care, a safe environment and processes for patients by the use of evidence based clinical guidelines that address patient expectations, promote wellness and evaluate care given.

The role will provide clinical leadership and professional scholarship in order to develop nursing practice and health policy at local, regional and national level.

The role will contribute to nursing research to shape and advance nursing practice, education and health care policy at local, national and international levels.
