`Emergency Medical Dispatcher` Current Vacancies

2006-11-27:

Emergency medical dispatchers and Patient Transport Services (PTS) controllers are a key part of the ambulance service control team.
The job titles, as well as the duties, vary slightly between ambulance services.
Emergency medical dispatchers receive urgent calls to the service and help to mobilise and control accident and emergency vehicles.
Some ambulance services split this role into call takers and dispatchers.
Dispatchers may have to give advice over the phone to people facing life-threatening situations, and help them cope until the ambulance arrives.
PTS call handlers work in the non-emergency service, organising routine transport to take patients to and from hospital appointments and home after discharge.
Full-time ambulance personnel in the NHS usually work 39 hours a week.
They work rotating shifts, including nights, weekends and public holidays.
Emergency medical dispatchers and PTS call handlers work in an office environment at a switchboard.
Most ambulance personnel are trained by, and work for, the NHS, although there are some opportunities to train and work in the armed forces.
It might also be possible to move to ambulance duties providing applicants meet the entry requirements and successfully complete the selection process. Emergency medical dispatchers earn approximately 14,000 to 23,000 a year. (Permalink)
