Increased hems load in Sussex
Had a long discussion over the weekend in re the closure of A and E and other high dependency depts in Sussex. The official was adamant that HEMS would be able to handle the "rare" real emergency transfers say between Royal Sussex and say the nearest neuro dept. As I remember, Helis for Royal Sussex have to land at some distance and use an ambulance to transfer to the hospital. Is this still true? The Official said that roof landings may be arranged. I know this to be bollocks as I have been on the roof of the tower block and looking around at the various blocks there is nowhere that could be adapted. Am I wrong?
