An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) in Cardiology to join our team of established Advanced Nurse Practitioners within Ward 6C in the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

The ANP in Cardiology also participates and develops the In-Reach Heart Failure service providing advanced nursing management and support to other patients, out with Ward 6C and early supported discharge clinics. The ANP role includes the authority to admit, refer and discharge patients. This will involve working autonomously by utilising a high level of clinical decision making and problem solving skills. As an ANP, you will manage the complete clinical care for patients by utilising your advanced knowledge and skills; ensuring the delivery of safe, high quality and effective patient care. We are seeking a highly motivated individual who is flexible, forward thinking, hardworking and professional.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay.  This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff.  This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours.  However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week.  If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Recruiting Board.
