    Any idea for tyne and wear, northumberland?


    Northumbria police have Operation Ginger which is a para out in a police car for Newcastle and Sunderland city centres but only for peak times at Xmas. Cleveland police have a medicar which is a para out in a police van that’s only out for nights at Xmas and bank holidays.
    the only other thing close In the north east is the street triage team, all 3 police forces have them and it’s a mental health nurse out with a police car.

    Sorry if these have already been mentioned.


    I would like 2 crews for a cardiac arrest. I carnt imagine it’s just our service but we would always send two crews.


    Aswell as this calls to change once crews arrive at scene eg


    police required to force entry
    2nd crew required for difficult extraction
    Fire required due to Bari ptn needing extrication
    Police requested due to ptn becoming violent
    Police requested due to unexpected death


    and later once added crews could request hems/hart/ccm’s
