EOC Clinical Navigator

4 weeks ago

Wakefield, United Kingdom Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust Full time

Job summary

We have vacancies within our Clinical Navigator team in the EOC (Emergency Operations Centre) and are looking for talented individuals. You would be acting in either the upstream or downstream position providing clinical oversight and support to all incidents within a specified area.

Clinical Navigators are a key role within the EOC in ensuring the safety of waiting patients. They will be expected to use a variety of approaches based on the operating context at the time to mitigate any risk those waiting patients might be experiencing. This would include contacting the patient or their representative by phone or video link, considering the ordering of incidents waiting, utilising other providers, and identifying incidents that might benefit from a different response than a double crewed ambulance.

This role is offered as a full-time permanent role. As a department we could consider secondment or rotational roles with operations. We would consider part time working but any reduction in hours or flexibility we could offer would be limited given our operating constraints.

Main duties of the job

You will be focussed on managing clinical demand pro-actively within the area assigned. This would be working with agreed policies and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's), as well as following guidelines and utilising decision-support tools when necessary. This would be supporting significant experience in urgent and emergency care, ideally with significant pre-hospital experience.

You will support the dispatch team as a clinical specialist allowing them to ensure that resourcing of incidents balances the needs of individual patients, with the need to ensure an effective response across the geographical area; this will require sound clinical decision-making to prioritise the use of resources at times of high demand managing risk in a way that maximises safety.

You will be first point of contact for some of our partner agencies and will need to develop and maintain a strong working relationship with those agencies.

About us

To enable us to meet the future needs for our services we have invested significantly in our Emergency Operations Centre's at Wakefield and York and have embarked on a period of change which is aligning our emergency and urgent care services with those of the wider healthcare economy. Clinical Navigators will be based at both York and Wakefield EOC's.

This is an exciting opportunity for innovative upcoming clinicians who can demonstrate ambition, continuous professional development and who possess a natural propensity to lead on clinical excellence.

The ability to support and guide such a wide range of operational colleagues through difficult decisions will be central to the role. The post holder will recognise each interaction via the crew advice line is an opportunity for learning and will approach their duties with clinical supervision and learning at the forefront of their mind.

Clinical support for clinicians experiencing prolonged on scene times due to issues such as referral delays. Medical Incident Officer (MIO) initial triage and advice. Assessment of incidents for alternative & specialist resource responses. Category 1 response support. To establish and maintain effective working relationships with EOC and operational colleagues. To establish and maintain an effective relationship with senior clinicians within EOC.
