Cardiology & Cardiothoracic Advanced Nurse Practitioner

Here at Imperial Healthcare NHS Trust, we are expanding our cardiac department. We are seeking experienced Band 7 Advanced Nurse Practitioners qualified in Physical assessment and Nurse prescribing. The successful candidates will be expected to perform across the four pillars of advanced practice. This is a seven day service involving long day shifts but does not include nights. The role is critical for patient safety and efficient patient flow within cardiac acute settings. Advanced Nurse Practitioners provide advanced clinical assessment, prescribing, new admissions, discharge planning, transfers supporting critical care transitions, ICU step‑downs to all areas of cardiac services, and managing emergencies such as bleeding or cardiac arrest. They liaise with other referring hospitals for repatriation after treatment or intervention and play a key part in safe discharge home following occupational therapy/physio and discharge team input.

• Review and prescribe medication in a timely manner, ensuring it is within own level of knowledge, competence and the scope of the Trust’s policy for non‑medical prescribing, and formulate discharge documentation including medications and onward follow‑up care.
