Advanced Paramedic (paramedic or nurse) HARRC

A career as an Advanced Paramedic (paramedic or nurse) with EEAST offers many benefits, including:
+ Working on a dedicated rapid intervention scheme mainly serving care homes
+ Working with multidisciplinary teams
+ A comprehensive training and development plan, including annual appraisal
+ Clinical leadership opportunities
+ Pre-hospital prescribing, where possible, when working on the scheme, To enable EEAST to meet the future needs of our patients, we are investing significantly in our urgent & emergency care services, developing a post registration career pathway for advanced practice.
This will create exciting opportunities for current Advanced Paramedics and career development for our clinical workforce.
Through this programme we are now seeking a number of individuals with the drive, leadership skills and clinical excellence to take on the new, exciting and challenging role of Advanced Paramedic in Urgent for a rapid intervention scheme in West Herts.
In addition, Advanced Paramedics (paramedic or nurse) will provide clinical supervision and mentorship to our team of clinicians and contribute to the wider operational clinical team, through professional activities related to the four pillars of advanced practice, as well as providing excellent clinical care, on a number of new operational resources., The Advanced Paramedic - works across various clinical settings utilising a range of tools and models of practice. A highly proficient and autonomous Paramedic, the AP will provide care and treatment to patients presenting with undifferentiated urgent/critical and unscheduled care problems. They will manage patients in, or closer to home, that present with chronic and long-term conditions, as well as minor illness and minor injury. This AP will:
+ Improve the patient's journey and experience by reducing the time to diagnosis/treatment and fast-tracking the patient through appropriate emergency care pathways.
+ Enhance the focus on appropriate admissions and referrals through access to appropriate care at point of need.
+ Provide an innovative service, underpinned by specialist knowledge and skills from a wide range of healthcare disciplines, offering the first point of contact at the appropriate place and time.
Clinicians at this level will exhibit an advanced breadth and depth of knowledge combined with critical thinking and expertise in patient assessment, point of care patient diagnostics and clinical interventions which will be supported by an extended scope of practice beyond that required for paramedic registration. In addition, the AP will be expected to develop knowledge and skills in identified areas of specialist practice and contribute to pan-service education, training, and research and audit activity.
