Summary
Join our dynamic Clinical Assessment Service (CAS) team, a 24/7 non-emergency telephone service that works closely with NHS 111 to provide patients across North East Essex with timely, expert advice and access to appropriate care every day of the year. Our mission is to simplify healthcare navigation by delivering seamless assessment and referral pathways that connect patients to specialist advice, primary care, and community services all from the comfort of their home.
