Saint John of God Community Services, Community Mental Health Services Lucena Clinic are now inviting applications for the post of Advanced Nurse Practitioner, (CAMHs \- ADHD)

Saint John of God Community Services, Community Mental Health Services Lucena Service are now inviting applications for the post of Advanced Nurse Practitioner, (CAMHs ADHD) for a community CAMHs team. The successful candidate will be enthusiastic, flexible, innovative and committed to providing a quality service that responds to the needs and priorities of our service users and families.

Role Summary

The Advanced Nurse Practitioner, (CAMHs \- ADHD) post will work across community CAMHs teams.

Advanced Nurse Practitioners are educated to master’s degree level and have the competencies to be senior decision makers that undertake a comprehensive advanced mental health assessment of patients with complex multiple healthcare needs. They can interpret the results of multiple different assessments and investigations to make a diagnosis, and plan and deliver care.

As Advanced Nurse Practitioners, they can confidently and competently make ethical, evidence\-based decisions and interventions and use appropriate therapies when faced with complexity and assess and manage the risk associated with these decisions. The ANPs can prescribe and work with individuals to manage their medicines.

Typically, they work independently but also as part of an interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary team where they plan and provide skilled and competent care to meet a patient's health and social care needs. Involving or referring on to other members of the healthcare team as appropriate they can safely discharge a patient within their scope of practice. Registered Advanced Nurse Practitioners (RANPs) work within an agreed scope of practice and meet established criteria set by Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI) to register as either an 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.
