@ParaAndy90 Apologies,question mark not Recognise you’re a person, working on situations that most would run or shy from.That alone makes
You a special person! You are a beacon, it doesn’t have to be perfect and can need a charge, it that’s what others are for! We appreciate you

[SSGL Group @SSGLgroup]

@ParaAndy90 Firstly, well done for recognising? Driving you reached out to others which shows self awareness! The job isn’t meant to be easy, but, you’ve come this far who shows how’s amazing you are! You’re an incredible, strong, durable, compassionate person and you’re appreciated 🥰

@joshparamedic @StuLittle1972 From experience, many think that cover isn’t needed based on it never being needed before, forgetting that there’s always that one time. 1st aid isn’t good enough and fREC 3 should be minimum with HCP on call at all times to refer to via phone. Also equipment needs detailing.

[SSGL Group @SSGLgroup]

@ZeeshParamedic @StuLittle1972 Regulation makes no difference however financial penalties would as the industry is about profits and don’t want to impact. It’s sad that public safety isn’t priority. Laws stating medical cover is legal requirement, providers being fined for incorrect, that will work more.

[SSGL Group @SSGLgroup]

@statto95 @StuLittle1972 There’s too many events that haven’t heard of the purple guide or want to ignore it due to costs. Lots of providers putting profits first and failing with correct resources. There needs to be laws that says minimum equipment and servicing requirements.

[SSGL Group @SSGLgroup]

@Worthymedic @StuLittle1972 Things seen of CQC registered - used sharps on counter, eaten sandwich left on seat so no cleaning after previous event, equipment not working, out of date equip. CQC isn’t the way forward, fines and sag not permitting events will make more change.

[SSGL Group @SSGLgroup]

@Worthymedic @StuLittle1972 Implement effective cover. Providers and clients need to be ‘punished’ as only that will make a difference.

[SSGL Group @SSGLgroup]

@Worthymedic @StuLittle1972 Seen some CQC registered with terrible services & many of us have heard horrific stories from some clients so that makes no difference. What would make a difference is financial penalties and legal requirements for effective medical cover. Clients & providers fined if fail to

[SSGL Group @SSGLgroup]

@StuLittle1972 @CFR_RA878 Events that have incorrect medical cover. It’s peoples lives and limbs and should be taken seriously. We’ve refused to work for some due to concerns and another provider does the job without a care, because it’s money. Both sides are at fault and change is needed.

[SSGL Group @SSGLgroup]

@StuLittle1972 @CFR_RA878 What resources were present? Unfortunately this is all too common as finances play a huge factor in resources. As a provider, we would rather refuse a job that wishes to be under resourced (which we have several times)as public and patient safety is priority rather than profits.

[SSGL Group @SSGLgroup]

@StuLittle1972 @CFR_RA878 Are permitted to wear ambulance. All others wear ‘medical team’. There’s many who don’t value or appreciate the responsibility they hold, and the care the public expect when they see the green uniform. Financial penalties for both clients and providers should be brought in for

[SSGL Group @SSGLgroup]

@StuLittle1972 @CFR_RA878 Don’t know how to complete event medical management plans, don’t inform the local ambulance trust, misuse NHS services, wearing epaulettes such as ECA and EMT when not qualified to that level, wearing ambulance uniform. For us, only staff who are qualified to work ambulances

[SSGL Group @SSGLgroup]

@StuLittle1972 @CFR_RA878 Recently we heard of ‘advanced first aiders’ being able to prescribe penthrox and entonox which is worrying. There’s no standards and as long as it’s within PGD then you can do what you want. There’s too many ‘pop up’ providers who have no idea how to correctly assess resources,

[SSGL Group @SSGLgroup]

@StuLittle1972 @CFR_RA878 Anything. If a provider rejects a job, there’s always another who will do it just for the money. There needs to be education for events and venues on why the correct cover is important and what to look for.
