• Provide clear, evidence-based advice, safety-netting and agreed care plans, checking patient understanding.
• Arrange safe referrals and handovers to appropriate services, including ambulance, emergency, primary care, urgent care, mental health, pharmacy and community services.
• Support Health Advisors and the wider multidisciplinary team with clinical advice, case reviews and clinical floor support where trained and allocated.
