Who are we?

ADPRAC IS A NEW AGENCY THAT DELIVERS NON-MEDICAL CLINICIANS

ADPRAC is the only agency that delivers high quality Advanced Clinical Practitioners, Emergency Care Practitioners, Advanced Assessment Nurses, and Emergency Department Assistants to all streams of emergency and non-scheduled care centers.

In 2014 both Greg Markham and Pete Chessum conceived ADPRAC; both are well-respected non-medical clinicians working as Senior/Lead Advanced Clinical Practitioners (ACPs). In 2015 ADPRAC joined forces with Fosse Healthcare LTD a Leicestershire based company with a great reputation for providing agency staff to NHS organisations.

It soon became clear that Fosse and ADPRAC were stronger together with the back room expertise of Fosse and specialist knowledge of advance practice combining to create an agency of highly skilled non-medical clinicians.

We differ from other employment agencies, as ADPRAC is lead by advanced clinicians that appreciate the modern day demands of urgent and emergent care. This means we can get the right member of staff in the right place, at the right time, to help departments on a short term and long term basis.

We are most proud of being flexible to suit the needs of the individual Trust or UCC. It maybe that the Consultant on duty prefers an ‘attending’ model whereby the ACPs will work all patient’s up and present them to Consultant in charge. However, we have found in many Trusts very soon ACPs work at their optimum level: Independently.

“ADPRAC is a company that believes those who dedicate themselves to hard work deserve others to help them realise their potential.

Over the next few months we will be sponsoring 3 of our staff through a complete ENP course, with no cost to that member of staff at all.

There’s lots of other agencies you can work for,

but only one you should!

ADVANCED CLINICAL PRACTITIONER

Starting an Advanced Clinical Practitioner Team?
Historically many trusts have struggled with the inception of an ACP team as there are very few practitioners working at the level required to make a meaningful impact in the department from the get go.We can help convert those staff that have less belief in non-medical practitioners by role modelling with feet on the ground in the Emergency Department.

EMERGENCY NURSE PRACTITIONERS

The role of the Emergency Nurse Practitioner (ENP) has been around for decades and over the years most trusts are now employing nurse practitioners to manage the minors streams.
However, many trusts still use junior locum medical staff to fill gaps in their minor injury service rota if an ENP is off sick or there is a shortfall of staff. This, at least to us, is counter intuitive

ADPRAC ADVANCED ASSESSMENT NURSES

We know what you need.
As an employing trust you want a agency member of staff that can stand alone. The sort of nurse that you can deploy to any area of your department, to peads, to resus, to majors or minors. It would be really useful for them to be IV drugs, cannula, catheter, ECG trained;

EMERGENCY CLINICAL PRACTITIONERS

In Recent years there has been an expansion of paramedics into Emergency Care Practitioners. These are senior paramedics that undertake further exams to be able to differentiate minor illness and injury complaints just as ENPs do. We have found that many paramedics succeed in these roles as the differentiation of illness and injury is a greater part of paramedical science then standard nursing training.

He was given an opportunity early on in his career to become a ‘practitioner’ and worked hard to gain the additional knowledge and skills required to walk the line between nursing and medicine.

Pete has worked with the Centre for Workforce Intelligence, Royal College of Emergency Medicine, Royal College of Nursing, and Department of Health to improve understanding of advanced practice. He was one of the leads on the RCEM portfolio for ACP practice and has lectured extensively on mentorship requirements to assist nurses transitioning into clinicians.
