Won’t work at my hospital – there are literally no trolleys for them to offload to.
Seems fine to me, this is a hospital problem we should be building more tirage not keeping the expensive vehicle and crew tied up. It’s not like the ambulance is going home, they are saving more lives
New Government initiative to speed up Ambulance deliveries and reduce the burden of under funding the service.
All Hospitals are to be built at the bottom of hills. Ambulances are to simply drive past the hospital, before opening their rear doors.
This will increase efficency, allowing paramedics to already be on their way to the next patient whilst the previous is still being delivered to the hospital.
Seems like taking down the Nightingale units was a mistake…
Waited more than 13 hours for a bed each of the 4 visits my dad made this year to an NHS hospital. The time to be attended from the time the ambulance dropped dad to the time A&E got around to treating him was anywhere between 4 and 9 hours. On a gurney in the corridor most of the time. If they had the resources, the staff were more than willing to help, but they are stretched to exhaustion. Then, for some obscure reason, they release the patients before the patient is correctly and adequately treated. That is an opinion, but I think they could have done better, had their protocols not been geared towards ‘admit, give two paracetamol, release, next’, then perhaps my dad would still be alive and we would have had a Christmas together. I pray the system is sorted out before more people die unnecessarily. The ambulance staff were angels, each one of them. They cared.
obviously this is all down to the under funding of the NHS by the dirty rotten Tories, but yes its a massive waste of their time, to be waiting for hospitals to take patients off their hands
If Labour get in in 2 years how will they fix this? How much more money needs to be poured into the system to make it functional? Free at the point of use healthcare was fine in the 50s but it’s unsustainable in the modern world with a continually ageing population and increasingly hi-tech and expensive procedures and medicine being in demand. When will British people wake up and realise that we are one of the only countries in the world with this fundamentally flawed system? Why is what virtually every other developed country has not good enough for us?
At last common sense, the idea of staying with the patient works when the system is not overloaded and there is enough staff/ambulances, but when you see/hear about ambulance crews dealing with only one or two patients during their whole shift, that makes you think what are they doing.
