Paramedic for Primary Care

Paramedic in Primary Care

There is now a wide acknowledgement of the benefits an experienced Paramedic can bring to Primary Care; which is to support patients in the community and reduce unnecessary hospital admissions.

We are looking for enthusiastic Paramedics who would be interested in joining various local initiatives (South West and North London) within Primary Care. We have a growing number of exciting and varied projects, offering a unique new direction to anyone who is looking for a progressive move from the usual thrill of ‘blue lights’.

Some of the projects we have taken on / have in the pipeline:

• Network Paramedic service
• Network Home visiting service
• Community support response
• Ad-hoc work in GP practices ( For Paramedics with Advanced care or prescribing skills)

Some roles are dependent on experience with a prerequisite to register on a First Contact Practitioner pathway (FCP), which we will support you through. In the main, you will be working alongside GPs and other Health Care Professionals, carrying out patient assessments, supporting care plans, referring to community teams, updating records, safety netting, vaccinating and managing patients in their right environment.

If an opportunity to widen your clinical scope outside the ambulance service, provide excellent patient care, take advantage of learning opportunities and minor ailments excite you, then please send your expression of interest along with a CV and short statement outlining your interest in Primary Care.
