Stretcher case
Now where was I? Goodness a lot of time has passed and there has been some big change. The pay issue and the work detail all got sorted so I am now on secondment from my regular company to another company and I am in the Covid19 team of non-emergency ambulance drivers. Yesterday marked the end of my first full week which ran from Tuesday to Saturday 6 pm til 4 am. My first night was actually the last working shift of the previous week. Being a Saturday, whilst I was expected and there was kit (a PDA and PPE) and a vehicle for me, there wasn't much of an induction. The person in the office helped me log into the PDA. It's like a phone that control sends your jobs to. I was given a call sign and a PIN, a key to the ambulance and a fuel card. I was to work alone that night so, unbeknown to myself, I wasn't given any covid19 work. Once I was logged into the system there was already a job for me which involved collecting three patients from a hospital and taking them home.
