Reset day appears to have missed South Devon - 16 🚑 outside ED 🤦🏼‍♀️

[Laura 🚑 @Devondispatcher]

Three hours on scene trying to persuade patient to attend ED with us. Patient point blank refusing. Put through to validator (PSV crew). Validator tells patient they have to go to ED. Patient gives in.

Tired. As........and no break yet 😳😳😳

Working for the NHS has proven to reduce your lifespan according to a large study.

However, every year thousands of people still want to work for the NHS.

Therefore, trusts need to focus & priorities the welfare of their own staff first.

So the staff can do what they do best!
