They’re taken through an initial assessment. My responsibility is to then signpost to the next, correct service. That could be an emergency service, ambulance service, treatment centre, or a mental health crisis team.”

Our Health Advisors deal with a variety of calls that range from minor illnesses to life threatening situations every day. Technically, Health Advisors are non-clinical, and so your function is to triage and feed into the clinical side of the system.

As a Health Advisor at IC24, when our patients dial 111 you will be the first point of contact and the voice at the end of the line. It'll be up to you to deliver sometimes life-changing advice, triaging a wide range of calls and providing safe, effective assessments and non-clinical advice using the NHS Pathways System.

“The bulk of the calls we deal with are things like throat infections, during infection. It can range from a lot of things, for instance people that possibly might be having a heart attack. It’s not an easy job, but if you’re the type of person who likes to help people, it is a very rewarding job.”
