· Requesting, interpreting, and acting upon investigations such as point-of-care testing and limited x-rays, using expert clinical judgement to inform diagnosis and treatment decisions.

· Identifying patients who require escalation of care and making timely decisions regarding referral to specialist services, emergency departments, or other healthcare professionals.
