  Paediatric trained Nurses: As a Virtual Urgent Care Nurse, you'll be at the heart of our dynamic team.

Equipped with advanced decision-making software and video assessments, you'll adeptly assess patient acuity. If escalation is required, our medical officers will be available. At the conclusion of your assessment, you will coordinate smooth transfer to local Emergency Department, Urgent Care Centres, GPs or self-care.
