An Advanced Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (ANNP) with the experience, knowledge, and skills to undertake the role and responsibilities required to support the Tier1 medical rota. The ANNP team is in addition to the medical rota, enabling them to provide specialist knowledge of 
clinical care, advice, support, and teaching to the multidisciplinary team. 

This is a new ANNP service, being introduced in a staged way over the next 3 years, with the aim of an 24-7 ANNP service.  We have designed this service in partnership with ANNP leads from the British Association of Perinatal Medicine, such that the service maps to the new BAPM Advanced Practice Framework. 

The new GWH ANNP  team have protected time to develop and skills and deliver improvements across the four pillars of advanced practice, whilst being supported by a Lead ANNP to ensure career development. The ANNP team is independent of the tier 1 and 2 rotas, but  works closely with all tiers of the medical team.  Each of the ANNP team collaborates and supports each other, and supports the training of our new trainee ANNPs.  You will also receive ongoing support and mentorship from the neonatal consultant leads, our Head of Midwifery & Neonatal Services,  our Director of Midwifery & Neonatal Services. and Lead Matron.

We are incredibly proud of our award winning perinatal team, who developed the PERIPrem programme.  The Neonatal team at GWH has provided leadership across the region for this project, as well as national leadership in perinatal quality improvement.  Numerous opportunities exist for our new ANNP team in areas such as Quality Improvement, outreach, family integrated care, fetal medicine, palliative care/bereavement, education & training (we run 4 NLS courses a year in Swindon) and risk/governance.  You will be supported to explore all four pillars of advanced practice and there is rostered non-clinical time to work on areas of interest. 

You will work closely with a dedicated team of consultants, nurses, midwives, obstetricians and allied health professionals.  You will provide clinical care across the perinatal service, delivering leadership and advanced neonatal nursing practice with autonomy, in accordance with local guidelines and protocols and demonstrate highly developed specialist knowledge.

Our ethos of care is to ensure that babies and their families are at the centre of our services and everything we do. We are looking for candidates who embrace this ethos and can demonstrate responsibility and accountability delivering expert care.

We are thrilled to be recruiting another ANNP into this new service and are excited to recruit an outstanding candidate to help us make this an on-going success.
