About the speaker
Sarah Walters RRT
Urgent Care Clinical Lead, Rapid Response Practitioner and Lecturer at Gloucestershire Care Services NHS Trust
Rapid Response provides an urgent care service, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is for adults who are registered with a Gloucestershire GP who require community-based care which prevents an unnecessary admission to hospital.
Rapid Response practitioners have advanced clinical skills to assess and treat people with conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, urinary tract infections, sepsis, acute kidney injury, infections requiring oral or IV therapy and delirium. We care for frail adults, people requiring palliative care in crisis and complex falls patients.
We also carry out diagnostics, such as near patient blood tests, and will ensure provision of appropriate oxygen therapy, medicines and equipment. Non-medical prescribing is available.
Referrals are made via the Single Point of Clinical Access: 0300 421 0300
Out-of-hours referrals are managed by the Out of Hours service and come direct to the team. Call: 0300 421 6900
