Look through the information provided in this case study and highlight all of the information that might concern you as a paramedic.

1 Think about the location you have been dispatched to. Discuss, as you would with your partner, what actions you may take to ensure your safety prior to arriving on scene.Often we attend areas where police assistance is required for our safety. Discussion should include early activation of police (if this has not already been arranged), staging prior to arrival and awaiting police attendance to ensure scene safety, utilising prior history you or comms have on the location, parking your vehicle in a position that would allow for a quick egress if required (this may involve backing into a driveway or ensuring you are not facing a dead‐end street), identifying risks as they arise and using your ‘gut instinct’ to assess the scene. These are just a few to mention. Utilise other paramedics’ experiences to gain knowledge into how others approach these scenes.
