For 20 years the PRU has promoted a shared decision-making model which empowers patients and facilitates clinicians to identify the right care, in the right place, at the right time. In doing so, it provides definitive clinical assessment, often in patients’ own homes, delivering emergency care which is holistic and accurately matches patients’ needs. This service is delivered through the tripartite relationship between Barts Health NHS Trust, London Ambulance Service (LAS) and London’s Air Ambulance Charity. The clinical focus of the PRU is to ‘take the Emergency Department to the patient’, providing high quality care for patients where they need it. It attends a broad range of clinical presentations including illness and injury in adults and children, and where possible enables diagnosis and treatment of patients in the community without the need for subsequent ED attendance or hospital admission. The car is equipped with a range of diagnostic equipment and treatments enabling many conditions to be managed in the community. The service works closely with London Ambulance Service and community health providers to ensure that high quality care and patient experience are prioritised. ### Main duties of the job This position is a senior fellow post within the Physician Response Unit. The successful individual will accept the role on a 6-month fixed-term basis but could possibly include an option to extend. They will gain further clinical and operational Prehospital Emergency Medicine experience as well as experience of undertaking a senior role within the team. They will be part of a small team working to make a large difference to local patients, looking to enhance clinical care and experience through accessing community-based pathways and stream-lining emergency care. Individuals must have previously signed off and completed the 12-month clinical fellowship in order to be able to apply to this role. They will be responsible for the delivery of clinical care of patients that they attend and will be supported at all times by telephone access to a duty consultant in Pre-Hospital Care. They will be expected to practice within their own level of competence and training. They will also be expected to participate in clinical audit and governance work relating to the PRU and will be afforded opportunities to represent the service at local management and development fora. ### Detailed job description and main responsibilities The full job description and the person specification provide an overview of the key tasks and responsibilities of the role, outlining the qualification, skills, experience, and knowledge required.
