From April 2021, PCNs can recruit paramedic practitioners as part of the ARRS. This guide explains the ARRS and highlights how paramedics can support population health management through on-the-day demand and access with hear and treat telephone triage; treatment of minor ailments and injuries; and medicines supply via patient group directions. They can also undertake home visits and support the Enhanced Health in Care Homes Service.
The guide is part of a series focusing on population health management and the key themes of workforce, digital, system working, regulation and finance.
