A&E support crews
Our A&E support crews also go to patients in an ambulance.
But they deal with patients who do not need the clinical skills of
a paramedic or advanced technician.
The staff who form these crews have been trained in basic
life-support and help to keep our emergency ambulances free to
attend patients who are seriously hurt or unwell.
They deal with a variety of patients, including elderly people
who have fallen at home, transfers to hospices and children with
high temperatures.
