Display MoreYes but being realistic the careline activation call has potential to develop.
Say a person falls at home causing injury and they activate their careline. Help arrives and discover it's a bit more than a fall it could be a broken bone or the fall may have been caused by a medical event.
Other things to consider here is careline activation handled via ambulance dispatch? I know for years it was sent to local council team and now believe it is sent to a care company. Both these would send out their own staff first and/or called a next of kin, especially if they got a response from the person. If the person failed to respond it would be then phoned through to ambulance as concern for welfare and also care staff sent and/or next of kin called.
The CFR/RRV/Coresponder all could be used more within the calls we currently have. Adding these 2 calls is pointless really as creates no incentive to have any of these units just now. Why would I want to buy a unit that takes up space and can not resolve 99% of calls? I'd rather send a DCA to any call that way it covers the bases.
I'm well aware that Careline calls have the potential to develop however more often than not they do not require any ambulance for hospital admittance.
Careline activations routinely come to ambulance control, even when the careline has verbal communication with the PT.
Yes you're right, responders could be used more within the calls we currently have however the set up is not good enough for them to work properly.
You may not want to use the Responders, that's down to you.. Other members will.
With your logic you may aswell say what's the point in the CBRNe and Ambulance Control units? They're just duplicates of the fire ones.
These two missions have been introduced to create a purpose for the responders, ask the DEVs for too much it will be harder to get what's asked but ask for a bit at a time.. Then it's easier.
