We have an exciting opportunity for a post in the Single Point of Access programme to offer to an existing RBH team member a permanent position.
This is a clinical post reporting to the Associate Director of Operations for Emergency Care and Clinical Pathway lead for SPOA. The post holder will build up a profile of duties that will sit under the new Single Point of Access project.
Main duties of the job
The New Single Point of Access project is a government initiative asking systems to ensure consistent and rapid access to clinical advice and alternative services, and to reduce unnecessary conveyance, by implementing single points of access for health care professionals. Single points of access provide a single, simple route for referrals to hospitals. Qualified clinicians staff them, ensuring patients get referred to the most appropriate service for their needs, resourcing our community partners, SDEC, and other stakeholders.
About us
Our aim is to increase clinical assessment of calls in every ambulance control centre. This additional clinical input will ensure that the sickest patients are prioritised for ambulances and that patients who do not need a face-to-face response can be transferred quickly to services more appropriate for their needs.
Job description
Job responsibilities
Our new Senior Triage Operative lead will need to be professional, an expert in our patient systems, an adaptive learner, and able to offer excellent communication skills, both verbally and written. They must be a problem solver and, most of all, willing to take on a new challenge while providing constructive feedback along the way. Applicants could come from anywhere in the Trust but need to demonstrate high levels of competence in their existing role and have transferable skills. Duties are expected to include effectively leading a team, presenting data and project progress to board level, teaching, and networking with stakeholders.
For an informal discussion regarding the role, please contact Lisa Shoubridge or Kirstie Johnson.
