I would recommend putting this into a custom plugin you maintain (https://www.wpexplorer.com/writing-simple-wordpress-plugin/) or your themes functions.php if its a theme you created.

	<?php
	/** Create Title and Slug */
	function acf_title( $value, $post_id, $field ) {
	if ( get_post_type( $post_id ) === 'staff' ) {

	$new_title = get_field( 'first_name', $post_id ) . ' ' . $value;
	$new_slug = sanitize_title( $new_title );

	wp_update_post(
	array(
	'ID' => $post_id,
	'post_title' => $new_title,
	'post_name' => $new_slug,
	)
	);
	}
	return $value;
	}
	add_filter( 'acf/update_value/name=last_name', 'acf_title', 10, 3 );

	/**
	* Adds a meta box
	*/
	function simple_meta_box() {
	add_meta_box( 'prfx_meta', ( 'View Post' ), 'simple_meta_box_callback', 'staff', 'side', 'high' );
	}
	add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'simple_meta_box' );

	/**
	* Outputs the content of the meta box
	*/
	function simple_meta_box_callback( $post ) {
	echo '<a href="';
	the_permalink();
	echo '" class="button button-small" target="_blank">View Profile</a>';
	}
