This is such an amazing story. But, imagine if these folks were tied up on a less critical call, such as trying to compassionately manage a mental health patient that takes a tremendous amount of time and were unable to be free to do skilled interventions like this? Thats the power I see as a nurse of new service lines like VICTOR | Violence Intervention and Crisis Threat Operational Response Per a recent report by the Evening Standard, LAS is short by approximately 320 paramedics and 130 emergency medical technicians. which contributes to the strain on the service, especially as demand continues to rise with London’s growing population. They report that the shortage has forced LAS to prioritize the most critical cases and not dispatch ambulances to approximately 3,500 lower-priority incidents weekly that previously received responses. Mental health calls are often deemed in this category and end up leaving community and police resources struggling to manage patients alone. VICTOR has the potential to really help support Emergency Services so that amazing guys like this can continue to serve where their critical skills are needed most. #innovation hashtag #support hashtag #services
