Clinical Advisor - Band 6 - Clinical Hub/Emergency Clinical Assessment Service

It’s an exciting time to join our multi-professional team of clinical advisors working within the ECAS (Emergency Clinical Assessment Service) in the Clinical Hub for the London Ambulance Service NHS Trust. Using your experience as a nurse or paramedic, you will be able to provide a telephone-based clinical assessment and ensure our patients are signposted to the most appropriate level of care. This is a rewarding challenge allowing you to learn new skills and further utilise your clinical expertise. For further details please contact londamb.CASRecruitment@nhs.net. As a Clinical Advisor, you will be assigned to various roles when on duty. This will include telephone assessment of different types of calls, where you will be responsible for patient safety and providing effective outcomes. You will assess the health and clinical needs of patients, utilising your professional clinical judgment, supported by clinical assessment software. This requires generalist and specialist skills to assess and deliver care to patients across all age groups in a call centre environment. This requires excellent clinical and communication skills and the ability to work autonomously as well as part of a team. You will need to be a registered adult nurse or paramedic with significant post qualification experience including recent demonstrable experience in emergency care/acute illness with face-to-face patient contact.
