ARCC (TVW) Transfer Service
The ARCC (TVW) Transfer Service is hosted by Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, in partnership with South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust. The Transfer doctor role involves working alongside a dedicated team of Transfer Practitioners (Paramedics/Ambulance Nurses) and Emergency Care Assistants (ECAs) to deliver duty shifts under remote supervision of the Duty Consultant.
Role Overview

The main purpose of the role is to undertake inter-facility transfers of adults in need, or of likely need of critical care. The service provides inter-facility transfers for adult patients who require, or are likely to require, critical care monitoring and/or interventions during transfer. Transfers are primarily within the Thames Valley and Wessex region but also include out-of-region transfers and mutual aid to other regions and transfer services, including for older paediatric patients.

- Active contribution to the administration, development, and operational delivery of the ARCC (TVW) service.
- Participation in clinical governance activities including audit, research, service evaluation, and continuous quality improvement.
- Delivery of training for Transfer Practitioners, and new Duty Consultants.
