On arrival on scene, the patient is found to be lying supine on the footpath with three bystanders standing around him. The scene appears safe to approach and the patient seems to be alert.

On arrival with the patient

You remove yourself from the ambulance, acquire the oxygen and airway kit, primary response kit (drug kit) and defibrillation monitor, and undertake an observational assessment. After identifying the patient has no physical injuries, you place him on the ambulance stretcher and remove him to the ambulance to maintain confidentiality. You are greeted by a female who states she is an off‐duty Registered Nurse and advises how the patient was witnessed to be jogging along the footpath and suddenly ‘collapsed’ or ‘fell’. The patient was unresponsive for 1 minute before regaining consciousness and was placed in the recovery position.
