How
would you describe a typical day?
Seeing patients along side
another doctor at Tuffley Surgery where the hot hub is located
The Doctor will wear full PPE to keep them and
patients safe
Treating patients who can be
safely manged at home, sometimes with medication
Admitting patients to hospital
or the Rapid Response team if they are very unwell
Helping the duty team with
prescriptions
Dealing with test results and
hospital letters
What
do you enjoy about your job?
Speaking to patients and their
families
Making sure patients get the
help and treatment that they need
What
challenges do you face in your role?
It is hot working in PPE!
Sometimes if the rapid response
team who can support patients at home are full we have to decide if a hospital
admission is needed.
What
advice would you give to patients?
Please have your mobile phone on
– The Hot Hub Doctor will call you before we come and get you from your car, to get as much
history remotely.
Please wear a face covering if
you can and ask anyone with you to wear one too
Please don’t park across other
residents’ driveways
