hi, so I work on the ambulances – this means we see lots of different things. we might see someone having a diabetic problem, or a heart attack, or a stroke. these people we would take to hospital. then we might see elderly people who have fallen over, we would also take them to hospital if they have been on the floor for a while, or if they have any broken bones or a head injury from their fall.
We also see people who have had accidents, maybe in a car, or at home. so we do see a whole range of different things, we then have to decide whether they need to go to hospital, or whether it is something the GP can help with.
but when we take people to hospital in the ambulance we always go in through Accident and Emergency (A&E) so that the medical staff there can see them and decide whether they need to be kept in, and if so, which ward they go on to. hope that helps??

I am a manager. I work in an organisation that provides training and support to other health care workers, and I help work out if what we are doing is helping or how it needs to improve. I am a freelancer – that means I do not have a permanent contract with one organisation. So as well as that job, I also work with charities, other NHS organisations and sometimes private companies to help them work out if they are effective too.
Laurence commented on :
I work in a team that plans and provides learning for staff working in GP practices. We do this to make sure we have staff who feel confident and competent in their roles and can deliver the best possible care to patients. We spend a lot of time working with different parts of the NHS to make sure we know what staff need or want to undertake learning and then planning how make it happen. Sometimes we sort out an apprenticeship or provide money to pay for learning. Other times we organise and deliver training or learning for staff.
We work across primary care which covers all the GP practices in Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire.
