Overview
Southend East PCN is looking for a paramedic to work on their Integrated Neighbourhood Team (INT) strategy. Our project focuses on the elderly & frail patients and the health inequalities around being housebound but is subject to change, should NHS England agreed cohorts change. The role will support patient access to healthcare by providing home visits to these patients, and completing a full review – for both clinical and social needs, and will be able to refer on to the wider MDT. The aim of the project is to keep this cohort out of hospital.
