Hi Ian,
It was great seeing you at Waypoint, next year we'll definitely have to
organize a neonatal section for the simulation competition!
The guy from Medstar is from NZ and is called Stefan Mazur, he was an
excellent speaker and was a NETS reg a few years ago. He's working at
HEMS at the moment, but has done a lot in retrieval medicine education
in Australia for the adult retrieval services. He's hoping to start
including neonatal and paediatric options with in the courses he runs.
I have to agree with you about the air ambulance charities, I too was
amazed by the complexities involved with running such a service and with
how the NHS distance themselves. If we had a bit more collaboration
between the NHS and air ambulances, like in Australia, our lives would
be soooooo much easier! How good would it be to fly the FA Cup to
Wembley on cup final day in a helicopter emblazoned with the childrens
air ambulance, land in the centre of the pitch on live TV, drop off the
trophy and a few famous ex players and fly off...

Subject: [children's transport group] conference reports
Sure Tamsen
The main thing I got out of Ambulex was that if you put 100 emergency
vehicles in a big hall and turn all their blue lights on, you get a huge
throbbing headache. I learnt that noise reduction for occupants in the
back of the vehicle is not a priority for manufacturers who assume you
are only in the back with a patient for short periods. I also learnt
that there are many varieties of comfy seat out there, and we should not
be tolerant of the standard really hard ambulance seats, which are only
intended for short journeys.
Waypoint was a friendlier, smaller meeting. There won't be much I saw
that you aren't already familiar with in Australia, you guys are very
much ahead of us in terms of air transport. We had a talk from a guy
from Medstar in Adelaide, and everyone went ooh a lot at photos of their
big hangar and nice red uniforms. I spent a fair bit of time chatting to
people from the UK Air Ambulance Charities and gained a new appreciation
of the complex issues that arise when charities get involved in
healthcare provision; the public see them as essential services, the NHS
does not. Several teams had based their operations at the airport for
the duration of the conference so there were a lot of people in flight
suits wondering around and the odd rapidly departing helicopter or Lear
jet! There was one memorable "service users experience" talk from an Air
Ambulance Pilot who had used his own aeromedical services twice, once
falling off a cliff in the snow, and once crashing a microlight onto a
golf course. I'm glad I'm not his employer as he appeared to be off sick
a lot!
