Clinical advice and escalation
Define how the onsite service obtains further clinical input and when a case is escalated. Remote specialist support may be included where appropriate to the service model.
MEDICAL ASSISTANCE
Connect the people responsible for care.
When a case needs support beyond the site, clear clinical pathways help connect the next steps.
Make external care part of the service model
A project medical team may need advice, further diagnostics, a specialist opinion or access to hospital care. Those needs should be considered alongside the capability available onsite.
Nautilus supports clinical advice, referral coordination and access to suitable external healthcare providers. Assistance arrangements can connect site teams with hospitals, specialists, diagnostic services and rehabilitation providers, according to the agreed scope.
Where coordination matters
Referral pathways
Identify the types of external care required and how referrals are coordinated. Available capability, patient needs and local healthcare access all shape the pathway.
Hospital and provider liaison
Connect the relevant teams around appointments, acceptance, clinical information and onward care arrangements. Clear responsibilities help prevent gaps between separate providers.
Case coordination
Where included, follow the progression of a case across treatment, referral and rehabilitation. Documentation and agreed reporting connect clinical activity with the people responsible for the service.
Transfer planning
When travel or a medical transfer is required, assistance arrangements connect with the evacuation plan. The level of support depends on clinical need and the available options.
Define the pathway before it is needed
Routine referral and urgent escalation have different requirements. A practical service model makes those distinctions clear, alongside contact arrangements, decision authority and the information needed for a handover.
Local healthcare capability also matters. An accessible provider must be considered in terms of the care the patient actually needs.
Questions for the
first conversation.
- Which external services does your onsite team need to access?
- Are referral providers already identified, and how are they used?
- Who coordinates cases between the site and external clinicians?
- How are clinical information and consent managed across the pathway?
- How do routine referrals connect with urgent escalation arrangements?
Advice, referral and provider access arrangements are defined for each project. This website and its business enquiry channels do not provide individual medical advice or emergency assistance.
