Bank Doctor – Somerset Ambulance Doctor Car Service
South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SWASFT) is looking for additional doctors to work as part of the Somerset Ambulance Doctor Service. This is a varied and unique role providing care to the full spectrum of patients on the ambulance worklist via the use of a number of rapid response vehicles (RRVs). We visit complex cases and provide senior, experienced care which often results in the avoidance of an admission. Additionally, we run a senior advice line available to all ambulance crews in Somerset, providing insightful, consultant-level advice with the ability to visit the patient if required.
Key aspects of the role will include:
- Face to face consultations directly with patients, relatives and/or their carers; usually at home or in a care facility
- Providing risk-based patient focused care with an emphasis on pragmatism and uncertainty management
- Responding to significant incidents (Category 1 calls) if nearby
- Engaging with the wider ambulance service to provide consultant level support to all members of the multi-disciplinary team
- Undertaking appropriate prescribing
- Using point of care diagnostics to support decision making
- Onward referral of patients as appropriate
- Engagement with the service’s auditing processes
- Contribution to the development of the service by attendance at CPD events where possible
