CLCH Hertfordshire Adult Community Services – CLCH NHS Trust provides a range of Community Services, and the Hertfordshire Division is recruiting!
The purpose of the EIV pathway is to deliver crisis management to patients living in Herts Valleys and to prevent a hospital admission, providing a clinical assessment by a nurse or paramedic jointly with a HCA. The operational hours of this pathway are currently 08:00 – 20:00, seven days a week (subject to change once fully established).
The EIV pathway is closely aligned to the Unplanned Care service, which delivers high‑quality clinical care to patients in their own home at times of crisis. The Rapid Response (RR) pathway is to prevent hospital attendance/admission, and the Discharge to Assess (DTA) pathway is to facilitate early discharge from the hospital.
