Our Practitioners

Bandage At Hallam Medical we have built up a highly skilled, experienced and reliable bank of Advanced Practitioners.

We only consider fully qualified and experienced Emergency Care Practitioners (ECPs), First Contact Practitioners (FCPs) and Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANPs) to join our team.

We can also provide a number of other specialist Practitioners such as Emergency Nurse Practitioners (ENPs) for certain placements providing they have the necessary experience and qualifications to meet your requirements.

Each type of Practitioner we use brings with them their own unique skill set and experience in the unscheduled care arena:

Emergency Care Practitioners (ECPs) are derived from experienced registered healthcare professionals. Currently the majority of practicing ECPs have a Paramedic or Nursing background.

These experienced professionals then embark upon an extensive training and educational package at degree or masters level to develop into highly skilled autonomous practitioners.

The role of the First Contact Practitioner (FCP) was initially developed by the roles identified in the ‘Liberating the Talents’ report (DOH 2002).

The report highlighted how the roles of nurses are changing as a result of the NHS Plan and is aimed at discovering how the talents of nurses can be used to best advantage in improving the health and health care of the population.
