This is a permanent Band 7 position of 30 hours, offering a unique and rewarding opportunity to contribute to a well established and forward-thinking AP service. You will play a vital role in delivering expert, patient‑centred care in a dynamic emergency setting, where your advanced clinical skills and decision‑making will make a real difference.

We are looking for a professional who holds a minimum of a postgraduate diploma in Advanced Practice and is an independent prescriber. You will be expected to demonstrate advanced clinical knowledge, sound judgement, and the ability to work both autonomously and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team. Your responsibilities will include delivering high‑quality care within agreed protocols and, when necessary, making independent clinical decisions guided by best practice.

We are also pleased to consider applications for a Trainee ANP position. This will be offered at Band 6 on a 23‑month fixed‑term basis, progressing to Band 7 upon successful completion of the required qualifications (minimum postgraduate diploma in Advanced Practice with independent prescribing).

As part of this development pathway, successful candidates will be required to sign a bonding agreement, committing to remain with NHS Dumfries and Galloway for two years following completion of training. Should employment end before this period, a proportion of training costs will be repayable on a sliding scale.

Interview will be in person on 17th of February at the Education Centre – Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary.
