A Paramedic in a GP Surgery is known as a 'Community Paramedic'.

They work as part of a team and support Doctors in the diagnosis and management of patients. They can take your medical history and perform physical examinations. 

In addition to their 'Paramedic' qualifications, they have received extra training in primary care.

• ‘Triage’ and speak to patients on the ‘Urgent Care’ telephone list
• See patients that have been ‘triaged’ and need an urgent ‘face to face’ same day appointment or signpost them to a more appropriate service
• Carry out ‘Home Visits’ to patients that are housebound
• Provide you with health advice
• Can arrange appropriate patient referrals 
• Discuss prescriptions and medication requirements with a GP

Community Paramedic appointments are bookable by GP’s and Clinicians only.

Our Community Paramedics do not transport patients.
