BERTIE - Mission Classification - If you haven't read it already then checkout my booklet about the start of the Cornwall AA (
Geoff Newman - go to the 'blog' page.) In there I describe the classifications we used and they shouldn't present any problems with regard to HEMS dispensations.
1, Primary (HEMS) - direct to scene based on information received (may turn out to be anything from a false alarm to a coronary but you can only react on the info received).
2. Secondary - rendezvous with land ambulance for onward transportation to hospital (uses a previous surveyed and approved LZ).
3. Tertiary - Hospital transfer (to and from approved sites).
Does that help?
JACK - Can you put your hand on your heart and say that you are addressing the logistical challenges as well as the clinical ones?
