No patient images,name or indication of where they are going. Complete patient confidentiality. In the states we have the HIPPA law. This video I believe would pass that with flying colors. All they say is a lovely good morning even though they are going to a bad accident.

3) the medical team is an experienced Doc and Paramedic. There is no leade, both work together and both carry out interventions. So if it is a thoracotomy they are both cutting into the thoracic cavity, the roles swap about and both formulate an action plan. the docs are highly respected and not on a jolly. It's a formula that works and is being taken up by essex, kent, surrey, gnas etc. There is a lot of opposition from some areas but in my experience this works very well.

The doctor must have felt so macho - climbing out his helicopter. Walking past "Good morning. I'm a doctor. Out of my way". With the epic moustache to go!

Video should remain as it is a record of a public service in operation in a public place. CrystalPlacenut didn'tt have to search out the video, didn't have to watch it. His family's recovery will not be affected by others watching it.

The shows the team effort of police helping HEMS.

A typical response after a trauma is to apportion blame, even in activities not directly associated with the actual event, like posting a video.

Censorship of citizen journos is to be avoided.

i do believe as of recently kents air ambulance also has a doctor on every scene they attend.

quite rightly so, i agree with you this can definately make the difference of life and death.

i also believe essex are trying but due to slight lack of funding are unable to provide a doctor on every flight.

Stay and Play. London HEMS has a 20 year database of every single patient. so stay and play / swoop and scoop bith have their place. The overall plan is to keep on scene time to minimum. But what is the point of running a patient that has no airway, still actively bleeding, ventilatory poor etc?? these get corrected then the patient is transported to the correct hospital. neuro, thoracic, multi, burns etc.

2) HEMS London have always been dual pilot. Basically because landing in this city is fraught with dangers such as FOD, traffic, wires, people running up to MS as it lands! Plus as one pilot spins her up to take off the other pilot is outside (plus / minus police) to stop people approaching the disc to take pics. I've even seen a dad with his kid on his shoulders approaching to take a pic!
