Thread: Vol Fire crew, who is one?

Before administering any drug by IM or mouth you have to call the clinical desk on the 0800 number stitched on the front of the pack.
There seems to be unlimited supply of expired drugs to practice with. We just get a 50mm crepe bandage and injected in the end then in the rubbish

Only use the 2 lead. Typical with the fire service there are no set rules from the top of the north to the bottom of the south and are made by the Area Manager

yes of course, that's the process. that's not what i was referring to. What I am talking about is once you've used it, what recording is there for usage/stock purposes. Keeping track of usage so if items go "missing" it can be traced. St johns fill out their paperwork and record medicines used and restock for example.

our lifepacks can be reprogrammed to show the ECG. They don't print but we can take a video on our phones to show the EMT etc what was going on before administering medicines so they can see what was going on before intervention.

Did you get GTN & chewable asprin?

Ahh hear what you are saying. There is no control over accountability for restricted drugs. We do a weekly station duty and keep a record of quantity but that is all
