Description
The Royal Flying Doctor Service is an organisation that requires little introduction. We’ve been a part of the Australian landscape for 94 years and are there for our communities when we’re needed most. In the past 12 months we have delivered over 85,000 occasions of care including Emergency Retrieval, Patient Transfers, Mental Health Consultations, Dental Care and Vaccinations and we’re now seeking a Non-Emergency Patient Transport Service Registered Nurse (NEPTS RN) to join our team in Bankstown on a permanent part-time basis.
You will be responsible for providing care to patients accessing the NEPTS for transfer from facility to facility including, but not limited to, ensuring patients remain clinically safe during their occasion of care, remaining ‘between the flags’; providing ongoing communication with the patient and their medical escort, as well as various external stakeholders; identifying clinical deterioration and escalating clinical concerns in an appropriate and timely fashion.
When not involved in patient care, the NEPTS RN will be involved in administrative and base duties as determined by the Senior Nurse, Emergency and Transport.
