…and provide clinicians, across the UK, with pre-referral Advice & Guidance

- You can decide which days you are available to join our rota (which currently operates Monday to Friday 9am – 8pm and is split into three clinical sessions – 9am – 1pm, 1pm – 5pm and 5pm – 8pm)
- You are not required to answer calls if you are busy
- There is no term commitment from you; if you like it you continue; if you don’t you can step back with immediate effect
