In this special for Advanced Clinical Practice Week 2020 we handed over the podcast to our friends in the NUH Acute Medicine ACP Team, Hannah Polak and Greg Cartright. They take us through their careers, their day-to-day work and how the ACP team fits in with the wider MDT.

ACPs in ED

In this special episode Senior ACP James Pratt joined the podcast to talk about Advanced Clinical Practitioners in ED.  This is a topic he's talked about before at various conferences and meetings.  At EM2C 2018 he started his talk rather impressively:

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
