The Assistant Practitioner will support all clinical practitioners within the Rapid Response Team, including Registered Nurses and Allied Health Professionals (AHPs), in the delivery of assessment, treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care. This will involve undertaking delegated clinical tasks, supporting patient interventions, monitoring progress, and contributing to the achievement of positive patient outcomes while promoting independence and preventing unnecessary hospital admissions.
