ESS2014 Show Guide by Broden Media Limited

SHOW GUIDE 14 Covering the entire spectrum of the Emergency Services

ESS2014 SHOW GUIDE | WELCOME | 1

Welcome to The Emergency Services Show 2014! On behalf of the organising team, I would like to welcome all visitors and exhibitors to this year’s event. Thank you for making the effort to get up from behind your desks, dashboards, fire hoses, defibrillators, tablet PCs etc to attend the show – the UK’s leading event for the emergency services and their partner agencies.

Since we closed the doors on the 2013 event, the world has seen some testing times for emergency planners, emergency responders and the recovery agencies: • The 2013/14 Winter Flooding in the UK • Malaysia Airline MH370, which went missing on 8 March • Malaysia Airline MH17, which went down in Ukraine on 17 July with loss of 295 people • The ongoing Ebola crisis and treating the first Briton with the virus in the UK • The constant threat from British extremists who return to the UK from fighting in Iraq and Syria Of course, this list is by no means exhaustive and added to which are the day-to-day challenges of doing your day jobs, which remain under constant threat from budget cuts. A visit to The Emergency Services Show can be so worthwhile in terms of seeing the latest equipment and services, which could assist you and your colleagues in doing your jobs more efficiently and effectively. With over 400 exhibitors displaying new kit, equipment demos and show-only offers, this year’s show promises to be bigger and better than ever.

More content than ever before While writing this article I am struck by the staggering amount of content we’re including at this year’s show. So what’s new? Following last year’s highly successful event, the feedback from visitors was that you wanted more free content – seminars, workshops etc – to learn new skills and to leave feeling empowered to improve your organisations and working practices as a result of having attended the show. As well as the opportunity to view over 400 leading equipment and service suppliers, visitors have the chance to attend free seminars on the show floor. Places are on a first come, first served basis and the seminars will focus on two key topics: Interoperability, in conjunction with the Home Office-led Joint Emergency Services Interoperability Programme (JESIP), and Innovation, in association with Vodafone. We have some excellent speakers lined up, who are leaders in their particular fields. You’ll find a full Seminar Programme for day 1 on page 4 and day 2 on page 6. A full overview of ‘What’s On’ is available on page 9, which includes: • Once again we have teamed up the College of Paramedics who will be offering CPD certified educational content from Stand Z114 • ATACC Faculty, exhibiting on Stand D20, will be demonstrating all types of simulation to maximise the multi-agency learning experience • Physio-Control will again be using its stand (D10) as a learning experience, which will feature a full seminar programme from leading speakers.

This year we also welcome the return of the Emergency Planning Society, which is holding its annual conference in the Concourse Suites. This is also where you’ll find a free study session, being organised by TenCate, which will be looking at the latest developments and trends in protective clothing for firefighters. Also taking the opportunity to co-locate with the show is a Road Safety Seminar featuring and supported by Leicestershire and Derbyshire fire and rescue services, CFOA and TyreSafe.

Training focus The show’s exhibitors comprise a ‘Who’s Who’ of training providers to the emergency services sector, including Babcock International, Emergency Planning College, Serco Fire Services, North Wales Police, College of Policing, Cardiff International White Water Centre, Outreach Rescue, The School of Resilience and Emergency Response, University of Portsmouth, Coventry University, The Fire Training Group, TEEX-ESTI, Emergency Response Driver Training, Training4Resilience and MT Training Services, among others. Furthermore, the Fire Service College will also be exhibiting and displaying its new Mobile Carbonaceous Training Unit (MCTU) – the first of its kind in the UK – so it will be well worth a visit to see this and other demos on the Outside area, which is located to the side of Hall 17, by the Car Parks. In addition to the training specialists highlighted above, exhibitors include leading suppliers of: vehicles and associated kit; PPE – head to toe; communications; IT, both hardware and software; and an abundance of kit and services used at the scene of an emergency incident.

industry to get together, network, learn and (most of all) view the latest equipment and services available in the marketplace. What’s more all this is available to you free of charge: • Free entry to the exhibition • Free parking courtesy of Emergency Services Times magazine • Free shuttle bus from railway station to exhibition halls • Free seminars • Free show guide • Free copy of Emergency Services Times magazine We take great pride in bringing all of this to visitors – you all do a fantastic job in keeping the public safe – be sure to take home all that you have learnt and share it with your colleagues. If this is your first time at the show and you have enjoyed the experience please tell your colleagues to attend next year!

Thank you I’d like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsors – Rosenbauer, Vodafone, Physio-Control, Dräger, Niton, Communicare – for their continued support. Finally, a huge thank you to our many, many exhibitors – without whom we simply would not have a show! Next year’s event is returning to the NEC, from 23-24 September 2015, and is a major milestone – we will be celebrating our 10th show! Thank you for visiting, have a safe journey home and keep up the good work!

Industry get together Challenging budget restrictions are still having a major impact on the sector but it is worth noting that as show organisers we are offering an opportunity, unrivalled anywhere else in the world, for the emergency services

Mission critical communications. Connected. Always. Uninterrupted communication is essential for an effective emergency response. Whether in dense urban conurbations or remote rural areas, connectivity must be maintained. Always.

In the context of the Home Office Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme (ESMCP), for which companies including Arqiva are currently bidding, users will need to be exactly that. Connected. Always. Operating at the heart of broadcast, satellite and mobile communications markets, we provide communications solutions to many of the police, ambulance and fire and rescue services across the UK and Ireland, as well as to the RNLI, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, and the UK Borders Agency. Deploying the infrastructure needed for a nationwide communications network requires planning permission, sites and properties to be acquired and managed (often in sensitive areas), and the renewal of existing licences. It’s a task we take incredibly seriously and, with our many years of experience, something we have become pretty good at. We deliver some of the UK’s largest dispersed civil engineering network infrastructure projects, designing, building, acquiring and operating ingenious solutions.

We’ve built our portfolio of over 10,000 geographically diverse sites by acquiring land rights and premises, obtaining planning permissions and renewing existing site licences. We also have rights to a further 6000 sites via existing third party relationships.

Connecting people As the emergency services communications system undergoes a major transformation, we’ll continue to make connectivity happen for frontline emergency services organisations day in, day out. In fact we’ve been providing innovative and forward thinking solutions to the emergency services community for more than 50 years. They depend on our ability to connect people for an enriched and safer life. All our engineers and service teams understand the criticality of what we do. Our transmission networks are engineered to deliver service levels that are contractually guaranteed to be significantly better than standard commercially available products. But that’s not all. Beyond this resilient, network capability, our ingenious solutions range from the installation and maintenance of radios, mobile data terminals, automatic vehicle location systems and many other types of in-vehicle equipment, to full ICT managed services and control room solutions. We even provide the

Control System (ICCS), provided and maintained by us, to help them police the largest geographical area in England. We successfully migrated the force to its new ICCS while keeping the existing live system operational to avoid any downtime or impact to 24/7 mission-critical operation.

Transformational programmes

UK’s largest private paging network, connecting RNLI volunteers at more than 235 lifeboat stations, allowing them to quickly respond to emergency situations and save lives every day.

24/7 connectivity We know how important round-the-clock connectivity is for our Blue Light customers. That’s why we’ve invested heavily in our service delivery. At its heart is our 350-strong team of field engineers, based at over 30 sites across the UK and Ireland. They help our customers achieve seamless communications 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks of the year.

“As the emergency services communications system undergoes a major transformation, we’ll continue to make connectivity happen for frontline emergency services organisations day in, day out.”

Successful installation and commissioning like that achieved in Devon and Cornwall is a fundamental part of any project and is often carried out in live environments. Our highly skilled and qualified engineers have the capabilities and knowledge to deliver the most complex and transformational programmes on live networks. They’re also on hand to provide everyday maintenance into our customers. This strength in networks and infrastructure transformation was epitomised when our engineers led the biggest broadcast engineering project in UK history with the successful completion of the Digital Switch Over in 2012. Over the last few months we have announced a site share agreement with CTIL (the Telephonica and Vodafone UK partnership) to provide network consolidation support and deployment of 4G LTE, to cities, towns and more rural locations in the UK, utilising our neutral and shareable infrastructure. Additionally, our recently announced partnership with SIGFOX means we are able to build the first national Internet of Things network.

Looking to the future We know the world of communications will continue to evolve, and we work on innovative and reliable ways of bringing this to our customers. Our aim is simple, to keep you connected. Always. Visit www.arqiva.com to find out more about the work we do with Emergency Services organisations.

Rosenbauer UK looks to impress with maiden ESS appearance Since Rosenbauer’s merge with Yorkshire based North Fire plc in April of this year, much attention and anticipation has been aimed towards the world’s biggest manufacturer of fire and rescue appliances and exactly how its world class fleet offerings can integrate into the British fire and rescue service fleets. It is no surprise that Rosenbauer is the world’s biggest supplier and manufacturer of fire and rescue service appliances with arguably the most technologically advanced trucks integrated with the most attractive bodywork on the global market. Added to this, the crew comfort and working space is almost unrivalled – incorporating more safety for the crew than ever before. Rosenbauer’s appliances also make impossible stowage tasks possible ensuring every cubic inch of stowage space is used effectively, meaning either more equipment can be carried or smaller, more manoeuvrable chassis can be used for the same job.

also an extremely common sight at the majority of major UK airports too with the excellent Panther – of which there are over 60 of throughout the UK and Ireland.

Range of equipment As most fire and rescue service personnel are aware, Rosenbauer is almost a standard brand at a fire station in one way or another already, with the excellent range of equipment supplied to fire and rescue services, UK-wide, over many years.

UK specific vehicle range Since the aforementioned April merge, investing heavily into their UK operations, Rosenbauer has demonstrated its desire and willingness to completely concentrate on its UK specific appliance range, albeit stemming from the company’s world class ‘standard’ range technology and styling. “We’re fully aware of the requirements and prerequisites for what a British appliance needs to achieve in terms of manual handling and truck dimensions,” said Oliver North, Managing Director, Rosenbauer UK plc. “But what we will achieve is a more efficient, refined and aesthetically stunning appliance from our current ‘standard’ here in the UK. I genuinely think we have the most professional brigades throughout Europe in terms of firefighters and their skill levels but my personal opinion is that many parts of Europe are very much ahead of us in terms of quality of front line appliances and I’m confident we can start to change that with our UK specific range.” Rosenbauer fire appliances are no strangers to UK shores, with the already established range of Metz Aerials both on the run and in build at the present time, with forecasts showing continued growth into the near and distant future. Rosenbauer’s ‘marquee’ appliances are

Twister lace-up fire boot.

The Otter pump from Rosenbauer.

The Rosenbauer HEROS-xtreme fire helmet is a market leader in Britain and the Rosenbauer Otter LPP has been a ‘firefighter favourite’ for over a decade. Now the company’s presence in the PPE market looks set to grow firmly with the excellent Twister lace-up fire boot winning various trials already throughout brigades since its launch. The Rosenbauer Fanergy-Pro turbo fan is also gaining positive momentum throughout brigades, testament that Rosenbauer really does specialise as a ‘full liner’ for brigade requirements.

“Visitors to ESS2014 will be able to demonstrate any of the market leading ranges on the Rosenbauer stand.” In conjunction with Rosenbauer’s manufactured products, the company incorporates another strong English connection into its portfolio with the superb, British-made Argus range of thermal imaging cameras. The highlight of the UK fire and rescue service thermal imaging market over the past two years has been the excellent Mi-TIC, which is now comfortably a market leader with over 25 brigades using the device operationally. The ARGUS Mi-TIC encompasses the latest thermal imaging technology and provides the firefighter with what many say is the most ergonomic design on the market, with a weight of only 740g. Simplicity of operation and impeccable robustness also add together resulting in the most loved hand held thermal imaging unit in the UK, as well as around the world.

The Emergency Services Show 2014: highlights Rosenbauer 12-tonne Compact Line pumping appliance: Rosenbauer’s Compact Line range is the natural choice for UK fire and rescue services due to its compact design; the appliance is designed for maximum manoeuvrability and operation around ever congested and narrow roads and streets. The Compact Line has proven time after time that due to sophisticated stowage technology it can, on most occasions, carry as much as if not more than a more standard 18-tonne UK B-type pumping appliance. While achieving its light weight and smaller dimensions, the Compact Line still offers more crew cab space and comfort, ensuring working conditions are improved for the front line firefighter. Metz L32A-XS turntable ladder: Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service’s soon-to-be commissioned Metz XS will be the aerial highlight of The Emergency Services Show 2014, displaying what is arguably the most efficient ladder set on the European market today. The XS boasts a bigger outreach, and just as importantly, the smallest in-reach over and above its nearest rival with an expertly engineered ladder set, while the ‘Metz design’ bodywork provides extremely functional yet an aesthetically stunning look, providing aerial crews with maximum ability and confidence to carry out the most demanding aerial challenges (you can watch the Metz XS video in full at www.rosenbauer.co.uk). Metz B32 ALP: for many UK fire and rescue services, the Aerial Ladder Platform (ALP) is the only choice of aerial appliance due to its outstanding water delivery capability.

Unified communications delivers £500,000 savings for South Central Ambulance Service South Central Ambulance Service (SCAS) has been working hard to take advantage of a range of opportunities to achieve savings, efficiencies and service improvements. To do this it is replacing legacy IT and telecoms systems from four pre-existing organisations with a single streamlined system, utilising the latest technological developments. SCAS had several telecommunications suppliers covering both fixed and mobile services. Vince Weldon, Associate Director of Information Management and Technology was looking to replace them with a single supplier who could not only provide a resilient and integrated fixed and mobile communication solution across its footprint – but also ongoing strategic advice for added value and support. “We knew that there were some immediate benefits to be enjoyed from rationalising these services, but it was important to look beyond these to explore longer term opportunities,” said Vince. “In the current financial circumstances facing all public sector organisations, the imperative to spend less on ‘cold IT’ and more on frontline services has never been more important and this can only be achieved by innovation and strategic planning.” Following an OJEU-compliant procurement process utilising a government framework agreement, SCAS appointed Vodafone UK as its communications partner. Vodafone will provide cost effective fixed-line services and mobile connectivity together with infrastructure support and maintenance for SCAS’s 999 emergency contact centres.

“We see Vodafone as a credible strategic partner and an organisation that can work with us to deliver innovation and support our ambitions in new ways of working.” Unified communications “Vodafone put forward the most attractive proposal and seemed to us to have really got to grips with us as an organisation, how we work, the pressures we face and our present and future challenges,” says Vince. “We liked their unified communications approach and there was a mutual understanding from the outset that this was not about providing phones to make phone calls.”

Unifying SCAS’s communications will deliver savings estimated at £500,000 over the next five years, to be reinvested in services. Communications between its highly skilled teams of call handlers and dispatchers, paramedics and first responders throughout the region will improve as they deliver vital healthcare services. In situations where every second counts, the consolidated platform will help employees to get in touch quickly with the right person. SCAS will also work closely with Vodafone to make use of the company’s expertise and communications technology to deliver other improvements. Management of its telecoms estate will be much more straightforward, freeing staff to focus on other service priorities. Historic, unused phone lines are being identified and eliminated. Billing processes will be streamlined and transparent with an associated reduction in traditional paper-based systems. Staff will have greater access to systems and databases on the move and workforce management applications will be used to make best use of employees’ time. The solution has a 24/7 monitoring and support package and users are already commenting on the improved stability of the network, promoting confidence for the future.

BlackBerry® smartphones to team leaders that not only allow them to send and receive e-mail but also to review data in real time to ensure that we are meeting our performance targets,” adds Vince. “These days it’s like carrying a mini portable computer and I want to ensure that we make the most of what these devices can offer. “In addition to helping us improve the effectiveness of our everyday working, we see Vodafone as a credible strategic partner and an organisation that can work with us to deliver innovation and support our ambitions in new ways of working. This improves the quality of care at the scene while reducing risk and the need for timeconsuming paperwork,” says Vince. “We expect this partnership to successfully demonstrate how effective telecoms solutions can help in the evolution of the health sector. We have signed a deal for five years and Vodafone has already demonstrated a desire to make fast progress. “Vodafone’s technology and can-do approach will benefit both our employees and the local communities we serve.”

Laerdal introduces the new SimMan 3G Trauma The SimMan 3G Trauma patient simulator from Laerdal has been designed to prepare the emergency services for the realities of trauma care. Road traffic collision or war zone, SimMan 3G Trauma is a patient simulator designed for the specific needs of emergency and military medical teams. Wireless and rugged to withstand the realism of disaster scenarios, this simulator has been designed to be an integral part of education and training programmes that will make medical teams ready for action when the time comes… and it’s for real.

Making the learning relevant The ability to train in ‘real’ environments with the limitations and stresses they impose in field-based scenarios can make learning more clinically relevant and skills retention more profound. SimMan 3G Trauma’s operating system is easy to use; run standardised pre-programmed scenarios or operate on the fly and capture those unique learning moments to improve individual team performance.

“SimMan 3G Trauma is a patient simulator designed for the specific needs of emergency and military medical teams.”

outcomes (many times meaning not just Return of Spontaneous Circulation, but survival to discharge with neurological function intact). In addition, the body of evidence is growing that highlights a link between feedback during CPR training and during actual resuscitations and quality of CPR delivered, showing that having real-time feedback on performance helps improve the acquisition of psychomotor skills used in CPR. The new Resusci Anne with QCPR and Resusci Baby with QCPR manikins are set to transform the quality of CPR training in the future. The ability to measure and assess the quality of CPR with meaningful feedback that guides continuous improvement and retention of this critical skill, defines both the new range of Laerdal’s CPR training and therapy solutions and the company’s commitment to support all healthcare professionals who work in the field of resuscitation.

Pushing field-based training to its limits Built on the successful SimMan 3G platform, the simulator’s robustness and durability is tried and tested. The rugged Patient Monitor and Instructor Tablet will push the boundaries of field based scenario training further than ever before.

Realistic learning including haemorrhage control Among the extensive features of SimMan 3G Trauma, which include pupil dilation, IV access, pulse check, needle thoracentesis and amputated limbs, the realism of tourniquet applications for haemorrhage control makes this patient simulator unique in the creation of fully immersive scenarios of trauma events.

Ensuring Quality CPR Performance with Resusci Anne QCPR As research continues to show how the quality of CPR delivered to a patient in cardiac arrest has a direct impact on the patient’s outcome, more profound is the need to ensure that CPR performed in training is to the correct standards. Compressing at the proper rate, to the proper depth, with minimised interruptions has been shown to increase the chances of survival with favourable

The new Resusci Anne with QCPR and Resusci Baby with QCPR manikins are set to transform the quality of CPR training in the future.

Optimal CPR training with enhanced measurement and feedback The Laerdal resuscitation line has been significantly improved with enhanced measurement and feedback capabilities. Resusci Anne with QCPR and Resusci Baby with QCPR are now enhanced with the SimPad SkillReporter, which with its intuitive graphics, easy-tofollow guidance, multi-manikin overview and CPR data log, provides a comprehensive training solution in terms of both real-time practice and post-practice debriefing.

the Chain of Survival still remains. Quality CPR skills require regular practice for effective retention, yet pressures on available time and resource at an organisational level can make this hard to achieve. Other factors such as variances in chest stiffness can compromise the quality of CPR. How is the professional responder sure that he or she is reaching the correct depth? Training on the new QCPR range of manikins with the SimPad SkillReporter software ensures the training is to the correct Guideline standards, but when the situation is real, the CPRmeter, through identical visual real-time feedback on the essential parameters of CPR, provides that continuity of quality performance achieved in training, ensuring that CPR is to the highest quality and survival chances are optimal.

Strengthening the ‘Chain of Survival’ with the Philips FR3 The partnership between Philips and Laerdal has been a long and successful one. The FR3 with CPRmeter is the result of a collaborative effort and a desire to bring together both companies’ expertise in their respective fields into a market leading AED solution designed to strengthen the Chain of Survival. The Heartstart FR3 significantly reduces deployment time by eliminating steps to help you start delivery of the right therapy – CPR or defibrillation – on your patient faster. • Automatically powers on by opening the FR3 carry case so you can focus on pad placement from the start • Peel and place SMART pads III. There’s no foil pouch to open when the pads are pre-connected. • Receive patient-specific guidance with Philips SMAR CPR for the most appropriate initial therapy – CPR or defibrillation – even for shockable rhythms • Minimise CPR interruptions and speed shock delivery with Philips Quick Shock Technology The integrated CPRmeter ensures that Guideline compliant CPR can be delivered. The HeartStart FR3 solution helps you respond to paediatric cardiac arrest faster: • No need to change pads. Just use the same SMART Pads III for adults and children • Insert the Infant/Child Key to automatically decrease the defibrillation therapy and implement the configures infant/child protocols

Volvo: good in an emergency Volvo understands the pressures faced on a daily basis by the emergency services. It knows that time is of the essence when you’re responding to a call. So you need a car that will get you from A to B as promptly as possible, without compromising the safety of occupants or other road-users along the way. That’s why Volvo produces specially-built vehicles for use by its emergency services customers around the world. Volvos can be found in a variety of liveries in every corner of the globe, from the Tropic of Capricorn to the Arctic Circle, and the manufacturer is proud of its reputation for quality, reliability and durability. In the UK, Volvo has been a trusted partner of the police, ambulance and fire and rescue services, as well as the Ministry of Defence, other emergency services and covert users, for more than 80 years. In that time, the company has come to grasp the individual needs of each organisation, meaning its cars are ideally suited for the life you need them to lead.

Rapid response duties Take the rugged all-wheel-drive XC70 as a case in point. This car is perfect for rapid response duties, because it’s a spacious five-seater with a generous cargo area, powerful engine and brilliant reliability. Four-wheel drive technology gives traction in even the most challenging terrain, but the XC70 has a relatively modest footprint, comparable to a conventional familysized estate car. That means it can access places that are beyond the reach of a larger SUV, and is just as at home in a congested urban environment as it is in the heart of the countryside.

The rugged all-wheel-drive XC70.

To ensure the XC70 performs in the way required by Volvo’s emergency services customers, the company has upgraded various features. As a result, the car has a purpose-built chassis, with uprated suspension, brakes, wheels and electrics, as well as a heavy-duty battery to handle the extra demands of emergency services equipment. In addition, the D5 turbo-diesel engine is tuned to deliver 230HP, giving the car a spritely turn of pace that really comes into its own when you need to act with alacrity. It’s a similar story with the V60, which is a recent addition to Volvo’s emergency services range. This eye-catching estate combines practicality with style, and has all of Volvo’s trademark safety features. This includes passive safety equipment such as the Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) and all-round airbags. It also has a range of active safety features like City Safety, which brings the car to a halt if an obstacle gets in the way, and Blind Spot Information Service (BLIS), to warn drivers if there’s another vehicle just out of their field of vision.

The V60, which is a recent addition to Volvo’s emergency services range.

Comfortable and versatile

Reputation for safety

The V60 was revised for 2014, but retains its hallmark versatility and provides comfortable accommodation for up to five people. It’s available with a choice of responsive and economical engines, giving emergency services buyers a range of options when it comes to specifying a vehicle that matches their needs. As with other Volvos aimed at this market, the emergency services spec V60 gains upgraded suspension, wheels and brakes. Moreover, the interior is easily adapted to house the technology and equipment needed for your duties, including radios, blue lights, sirens, in-dash screens and on-board cameras.

Of course, you’d expect nothing less from a company with Volvo’s reputation for vehicle safety. By 2020, the company intends that no one will be killed or seriously injured while travelling in one of its new cars – bringing welcome peace of mind to emergency services officers, who use their vehicles in the most extreme conditions. That explains why Volvo’s cars are uniformly popular among the UK emergency services. And with the company’s ongoing customer support, including the provision of a special Emergency Specification Supplementary Manual to guide the installation of additional electronic equipment, Volvo’s input doesn’t stop when it hands over the keys. Volvo provides free and unlimited access to a special technical hotline, and a bespoke extended warranty, including breakdown cover and roadside assistance, to ensure ongoing peace of mind. What’s more, the company’s service intervals of 18,000 miles/ 12 months/650 engine hours help keep ongoing maintenance costs as low as possible. This is the promise Volvo makes to the UK emergency services, therefore: choose Volvo, and you’ll have vehicles that are fit for purpose, easy and cost-effective to live with, and designed around you.

“Volvo’s attention to safety is seen throughout its emergency services vehicles.” With its combination of compactness, making for easy manoeuvrability and low running costs, and a highly spacious interior, the V60 is proving a popular choice, particularly among fire crews and the ambulance service. It’s an ideal first-response car, because its fleetness of foot gets you on-scene in the minimum amount of time, while its practicality ensures you’ll arrive with all that you need to get straight down to work. Volvo’s attention to safety is seen throughout its emergency services vehicles. For example, alloy wheels are reinforced for strength, in order to cope with consistent high-speed use over mixed terrain, and ventilated to stop the brakes from overheating. The brakes themselves, meanwhile, are also beefed up, to ensure the optimum stopping power even during intense driving.

Primetech’s Cobra Rapid Response Strike Vehicle to take centre stage The Cobra Rapid Response Strike Vehicle, developed by Primetech, is a completely new class of fire fighting vehicle, which is redefining modern fire fighting. Visitors to The Emergency Services Show 2014 will be able to see this vehicle, which is creating so much interest among fire and rescue services, on the Primetech stand (G70). The Cobra Rapid Response Strike Vehicle is fast, flexible and economical, while at the same time hugely capable, carrying a suite of powerful and innovative fire fighting technologies. One system in particular, the world renowned Cobra cold cutting system, is able to cut through all known building and construction materials using a special nozzle on a lance at high pressure (>280bar) forcing high-pressure water spray into fire spaces to suppress fire and fire gases quickly, efficiently and with minimal property damage, while maximising firefighter safety. Combined action using Cobra, thermal cameras and positive pressure fans has proved to be very effective in the fighting of many fires.

Dual role fire fighting tool The Cobra Vehicle has been further developed into a powerful dual role fire fighting tool that carries both the world renowned Cold Cutting Extinguishing system and the newly developed Multi-Purpose Nozzle (MPN). The MPN operates through the use of a two-handed pistol grip, creating variable spray patterns as required by fire conditions. The spray is easily adjusted, via the pistol grip, from a very narrow ‘beam’ to a wide cone spray jet. This unique combination of technologies has greatly enhanced the ability to manage many different fire fighting scenarios such as car fires, outdoor fires, dampening down operations, decontamination and foam attack effectively, efficiently, safely and fast.

With this powerful combination of features it is not surprising that the Cobra Rapid Response Strike Vehicle has been praised by Sir Ken Knight as it fits perfectly with his observations and recommendations in Facing the Future, his report on how fire and rescue services should improve flexibility and efficiency, which said ‘My review found a significant move by a number of fire and rescue authorities in providing a variable level of response to differing types of incident and thus matching response to risk. One of the constraints on efficiency is the rigidity of dispatching a ‘standard’ fire engine to all types of incident. I was heartened to see that many rescue authorities have begun to invest in different types of response vehicles that can be crewed by varying numbers of firefighters, enabling a more flexible response.’

The Cobra Rapid Response Strike Vehicle can carry a powerful suite of customisable fire fighting and communications technologies, including the Cobra cold cutting system, the Multi Purpose Nozzle, mobile Ka-band satellite broadband communications, and wireless body-worn cameras.

Call to arms

Evaluation and training

This call to arms is now being taken up by fire and rescue services around the country. At the recent Local Government Association Fire Conference the Cobra vehicle received a very positive response from senior fire officers and local government representatives. It is also being demonstrated to fire and rescue services throughout the UK, who are very interested in how this completely new class of vehicle is giving them powerful and effective new options for improving fire fighting efficiency. Rural fire and rescue services, in particular, have shown great interest. At retained fire stations, the Cobra Rapid Response Strike Vehicle enables fire and rescue services to respond immediately to calls, without waiting for the full crew required for a traditional fire engine.

Now, to capitalise on this interest and to make it much easier for services to introduce the Cobra vehicle into their fleets, Primetech has created the Cobra Evaluation and Training Programme, which provides vehicle-specific training for the various technologies carried by the Cobra Rapid Response Strike Vehicle, as well as flexible leasing arrangements to help ease fire service budgets. An accredited training programme is supported by the Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service, the only fire and rescue service in the UK to have accredited Academy status. Primetech has announced that it has also added the advanced Coldcut Systems Multi-Purpose Nozzle (MPN) to its product offering, thereby substantially expanding the scope of the Coldcut Cobra Extinguishing System for supporting faster and more effective fire extinguishing. MPN is a nozzle, which operates through the use of a twohanded pistol grip, creating variable spray patterns as required by fire conditions. The spray is easily adjusted and in a few seconds the jet can be switched from a very narrow ‘beam’ to a wide cone spray jet.

“The Cobra Rapid Response Strike Vehicle, developed by Primetech, is a completely new class of fire fighting vehicle, which is redefining modern fire fighting.”

Key strategic aim

“The most essential part of the new FSC experience is the quality of the training.”

The flexibility of the Fire Service College’s training programmes is a key strategic aim and a number of training solutions have been developed, which will deliver the required training outcomes. These have been designed to focus on: • Service needs, by: reducing the time away from duty, by using e-learning to complement the training programmes; investing in training solutions that can be delivered to delegates at a fire station; tailoring training programmes (content and programming) to meet local operational and budgetary needs; working with services to see how best to utilise their training infrastructure on a national and regional level • Individual needs, by: developing training solutions that can differentiate between individual learning styles; creating a training environment that is demanding, realistic and immersive, yet also allows delegates to learn from mistakes; and focusing assessment on the production of post-training development programmes to ensure that each delegate embraces and owns their professional and career development • Assessor’s needs, by: ensuring that exacting selection and personal professional development is a fundamental element of an instructor’s time at the Fire Service College; and providing the instructors with the tools to conduct real-time assessment and ensure that feedback is prompt. As result of these efforts, individual services using the Fire Service College’s training programmes will benefit from: • Significant reduction in the time away from duty for firefighters undergoing training, which could translate to a reduction in overtime costs, travel costs and

Technical Absorbents Ltd (TAL) will officially launch its K-Sorb™ fabric at The Emergency Services Show 2014. K-Sorb, which contains the company’s patented Super Absorbent Fibre (SAF™), provides unparalleled levels of absorption and retention of sweat, which in turn affords the wearer a cool, dry feeling. “K-Sorb™ has been in development for some time,” explains TAL’s Technical Sales Manager Dave Hill. “2012 saw us start promoting the technology quite heavily. Feedback from the industry, potential customers and also the media was extremely positive, and the number of enquiries from potential customers continues to grow. “As a result of this communication, we decided to go through a further development and modification process before making the fabric commercially available.”

Rapid sweat absorption The composite structure of the K-Sorb™ material allows sweat to rapidly be absorbed from the body, providing a dry, comfortable feeling for the user. The sweat is locked away within the highly absorbent core, reducing wet back and the wet, clammy feeling. In addition, a waterproof outer layer reduces the risk of wet back onto outer garments, keeping the rest of the user’s clothes dry and fresh. The fabric is designed to absorb up to 10 times its own weight of sweat during use, the equivalent of 4.5l of sweat for a standard size jacket (1.5 square metres of fabric). However the fabric is fully washable, allowing repeated use of the material. “K-Sorb fabric™ is designed to work under extreme conditions where normal evaporation is limited or prevented – such as under heavy protective wear or within a sealed environment,” continues Dave. “The ability of the material to absorb and retain many times its own weight in sweat, while still remaining dry to the touch, allows the user to maintain a cool, dry feeling for an extended period.”

Online mapping service now part of ResilienceDirect™ A new online mapping service has been launched as part of the Cabinet Office ResilienceDirect™ multi-agency tool. ResilienceDirect was initially launched in April 2014, providing a secure platform for multiagency partnerships to share information in both emergency response and in planning. The service acts as a common operating platform for use by local multi-agency planning and response partnerships, with users including police, fire and rescue services, ambulance services, local authorities and utilities partners. The service enables real-time sharing of accurate data and information, allowing all agencies to maintain shared situational awareness and supporting effective decisionmaking at the tactical and strategic levels. During the early development stages of ResilienceDirect it was quickly agreed that mapping would play an integral part. It was also acknowledged that authoritative mapping was needed, enabling users to view accurate representations of the landscape, providing them with the confidence to make vital strategic and operational decisions.

Bespoke incident maps The new interactive mapping service, being rolled out to the resilience community from the end of July, allows responders to quickly and easily build bespoke incident maps to support a shared information picture. The service can digest a variety of data formats, enabling users to add

their own layers to maps, reflecting accurate local detail. For example, cordons can be added and highlighted, utilities and pipelines can be shown and points of interest can be overlaid to the mapping. The service is designed to enable strategic and tactical commanders to visualise their area of interest in a flexible, dynamic way. Luana Avaglian, Head of the ResilienceDirect team at the Cabinet Office, said, “I am confident that this great project will deliver significant benefits to the resilience community. Throughout the project we have involved real users who have provided the development team with a real understanding of their needs. Our approach to this project has been very much ‘with you, for you and by you’, and this will remain our approach as we take the service forward. “We are continuing to work with the users of ResilenceDirect and are already looking ahead to enhancements of the service. This collaborative approach will enable rapid development of additional applications and features, making the service responsive to changing user needs and wider trends in planning the incident response.” The service can be accessed through any device, which has Internet access, including mobile devices, and is free at point of use to the resilience community. Mapping information can also be shared with a wide range of colleagues to ensure that all the agencies have a consistent view of the incident.

Working together John Kimmance, Ordnance Survey Public Sector Director, said, “Location is one of the most important factors when dealing with any incident or emergency – whether in identifying homes at risk from flooding, the direction of travel of a smoke plume or coastal erosion, it all comes down to geography. The new mapping service delivers an interactive operating platform to enable resilience professionals to gain a detailed view of any affected area, whilst allowing them to overlay their own information layers and the ability to create and share their own situational map – really important when several organisations are working together to deal with an emergency.” The mapping service has been built using a range of Ordnance Survey mapping scales and products, which users are already familiar with, via the Public Sector Mapping Agreement. The service also comes preloaded with the national set of common map symbols for the resilience community. Created by Ordnance Survey and the Civil Contingencies Secretariat in the Cabinet Office, the symbols provide emergency responders with a clear, agreed and recognised set of symbols, which they can share and use.

Words: Nigel Gray, Director at PageOne. remote or hazardous locations. Accurately monitoring their wellbeing is integral to DFRS while meeting their duty of care and also adhering to health and safety regulations.

Cloud based messaging solution The Trio device integrates seamlessly with Connect, PageOne’s cloud-based messaging solution, allowing control room staff to easily view the last known location of each employee via a secure web dashboard. The device also incorporates a manual SOS alarm and periodic welfare check that prompts employees to check-in at predefined intervals so location information is always accurate and up to date. The recent location information is then tagged on every alert, minimising the potential for delay should help be required. With tilt and motion sensors that can detect impacts, falls or periods of inactivity, which then automatically triggers an alert in the control room, the Trio device provides a sophisticated solution to address health and safety concerns and provides peace of mind to lone working staff.

Nigel Gray, Director at PageOne.

Paging still remains at the forefront of critical communications technology. Hence why the majority of UK hospitals and a large proportion of fire and rescue services continue to rely on paging to communicate with frontline employees. This specialisation towards critical applications has also seen further advances in this technology, geared towards speeding up an emergency response. For example, Dorset FRS (DFRS) has recently invested in PageOne’s Trio lone worker device to ensure the safety and security of field-based Hydrant Officers. These employees carry out the inspection, test and repair of 14,500 defective hydrants, which tend to be positioned in

response processes. He said, “SOS alerts are autoforwarded to a pre-defined list of contacts so the right people are notified and kept in the loop. When an alert message is received, there is a link to Google Maps which shows the last known location, along with a date and time stamp meaning we can quickly and easily find and assist staff in distress.” In the course of their day-to-day roles the emergency services frequently put themselves in situations of potential risk. And when something unfortunate occurs the ability of the control room to quickly establish an accurate location, potential hazards and the nearest vehicle access points can make all the difference. We have a duty of care to safeguard all vulnerable individuals, particularly those who spend significant amounts of time working alone or in more remote or hazardous environments.

Serco Fire Services look to drive innovation and deliver real value Global services operator Serco has launched a fresh offer to the emergency services market with the introduction of Serco Fire Services. Serco already has impeccable credentials in the UK and overseas through managing fire and rescue services and providing a range of ancillary services such as talent management and emergency planning. Serco Fire Services will draw this expertise together to drive innovation and deliver real value to its clients. Across its operations, Serco employs 400 firefighters and provides fire and rescue services at civilian and military airfields around the UK and internationally. Serco Fire Services’ clients include the Ministry of Defence, NATO, CERN, the German Air Force and the Atomic Weapons Establishment. The company expects to add to its portfolio of clients and capabilities in the next 12 months – it is currently bidding for a number of new contracts here in the UK, the Middle East and across Europe as clients respond positively to an offer of tailored services blending proven expertise. Serco Fire Services leader, Ronnie Coutts, said, “The fire market is changing. Pressures on costs, the application of new technologies and ongoing developments in the regulatory environment mean operators in the public and private sector are looking at options. They need to protect people and assets while adapting to new and evolving realities. Serco’s capability in this field goes back many years and the evolution of different contracts and services has resulted in a broad and deep expertise. This expertise is now being coordinated in a way that will make it easier for clients to get the advice and innovation they’re looking for.”

Significant asset base Serco Fire Services operates a significant asset base of vehicles, training rigs and equipment. Ronnie Coutts is keen to point out, however, that it is the people who make the difference. He says, “How can we keep our customer promise unless our teams are expertly trained, fully equipped and totally engaged? We’re asking our teams to be ready to put themselves in the way of danger so part of our settlement with the teams is that Serco Fire Services will be the employer of choice in this field. We do this in a planned way with meaningful development, a structured career path and the opportunity to move into other Serco operations, fire and non-fire, around the world. This alloy of support and opportunity appeals and this is seen in our staff retention levels and by the number of cases where our firefighters have moved on and up. “Developing Serco Fire Services benefits the client, yes, but it also means the fire professionals we have in the business are part of a real community. This develops knowledge, fosters an esprit de corps and creates opportunities.”

“The IFTC is an important part of the Serco Fire Services offer as it combines equipment and expertise to deliver a genuinely unique customer experience.” International Fire Training Centre One of the better known parts of Serco Fire Services is the International Fire Training Centre (IFTC), a world leader in equipping aviation and industrial firefighters with the skills needed to face any fire emergency effectively and confidently. The IFTC was acquired from the UK Civil Aviation Authority in 1996 and, with investment from Serco, now offers customers access to the best fire ground of its kind anywhere in the world. This is demonstrated by the growth in export sales that IFTC has achieved over recent years. Investment in

new rigs, major foam tenders, a virtual reality suite and the business infrastructure is attracting clients from around new markets and increasing penetration of existing ones. For example, the IFTC is the only training provider outside France that has secured accreditation with the DGAC, the French aviation authority, to deliver accredited courses to aerodrome firefighters.

Equipment and expertise “The IFTC is an important part of the Serco Fire Services offer as it combines equipment and expertise to deliver a genuinely unique customer experience. It’s not me saying that but the 10,000 delegates we train each year who feed this back to us. It’s recognised by the aviation industry as a real asset in the UK’s resilience capability and we will continue to invest in the business to ensure what the customer is getting today will be even better tomorrow,” Ronnie added. Serco Fire Services is part of the Serco Defence business unit, which works effectively and seamlessly with all three forces and is headed up by former Air Vice Marshal, Matt Wiles.

Perfect match of tradition and innovation from Sugdens With a history stretching back to 1869, when William Sugden set up as a tailor in Yorkshire, Wm Sugden and Sons Ltd is certainly a company with an enviable pedigree. Over the years the company expanded from its tailoring roots, opening two factories around the turn of the 20th Century. In 1968 it merged with another manufacturer, Double Two, which had gained an impressive reputation producing blends of cotton or wool with polyester in its shirts. The new company thrived, establishing a reputation for producing quality uniforms and workwear. In 1990 Sugdens developed its concept of a managed service for clothing and set up a new company, which became ThreadNeedle Company Image Ltd. “We are one of the oldest and longest servicing suppliers of clothing and workwear solutions to the private and public sectors,” says Executive Director Paul Gibbons.

Embracing new technology While undoubtedly proud of its history the company has certainly innovated over the years and has been prepared to adapt to market conditions. Sugdens’ main USP is its ability to retain its traditions while embracing technology and innovation to offer the full service, from design to distribution. It was among the first to use CAD systems to design fabrics, patterns and storyboards and the company also introduced to the

industry the concept of the fully managed service, versions of which now dominate some major contracts and sections of the public sector. Sugdens is also the owner of the Paradigm non-iron, wrinkle free, 100 percent cotton range of shirts, which are unique in the industry. The company’s mission statement says a lot about its values – ‘Delivering the best in clothing and in customer care’ and that attention to customer satisfaction has translated into orders. “Our garments are worn in 40 countries,” says Paul proudly. “We are successful in both the police and fire sectors and already have many framework contracts. We feel we are in a position to win major public sector business yet retain the financial security and product and services to further develop our private sector, with corporates like BP, St John Ambulance Supplies. We also have the diversity of a catalogue stock offering supported by our new website that allows us to develop and increase our sales to distributors and smaller end users, which will ensure our business future is sound even if we do not secure some of the major frameworks being touted over the next few years.”

Chairman and Managing Director partnership, the team’s work has been recognised by several awards won over the years for design, innovation and account management. The most recent is the Queen’s Award for Enterprise 2013 for International Trade, which reflects well on all divisions of the Wakefield Shirt Group and Wm Sugdens is proud to be associated with it, says Paul. “But we always look to the future,” he says. “Our design team search the world utilising exhibitions, the web and a network of contacts and supply options to ensure we are always at the forefront of fashion and trends.

From entertainment to emergency services – Amputees in Action celebrates its 10th anniversary This year marks the 10th anniversary of the launch of Amputees in Action. Over the course of its 10 years, the agency – the largest of its kind in the UK – has developed to serve three primary markets: film and television, the military and the emergency services.

One of the most important early developments implemented by Amputees in Action was the introduction of an accredited training programme for its actors, ensuring not only that they are able to conduct themselves with the highest standards of professionalism wherever they are working but also that they are able to remain in character. This level of realism is made all the more shocking by the agency’s own team of dedicated makeup, moulage and prosthetics artists who use the very latest products and techniques to create a wide range of ultrarealistic, medically accurate injuries of the type that might be encountered in any real-life trauma incident. This ability to provide emergency services personnel with the opportunity to learn and practice their ‘drills and skills’ in a highly realistic, adrenalin-fuelled scenario has been proven to prepare them so effectively that survival rates are measurably increased in real-life trauma incidents.

“The realism we can simulate really can help to save lives.” Expanding markets The first agency to provide this kind of support for casualty simulation exercises, Amputees in Action has continually sought new ways to expand its markets. Recently, the agency took the decision to expand the service it provides to extreme working environments – from deserts to offshore oil and gas platforms – in which prolonged pre-hospital care can quite literally be a matter of life and death. The agency has also launched its own Cassim Skills training course. Designed to equip delegates with the ability to create highly realistic, indeed shocking, simulated

injuries – from bruising and burns to lacerations and gunshot wounds – the course is delivered by PTLLSqualified instructors and covers the principles and products of Special Effects, Moulage and Casfake with a strong emphasis on health, hygiene and safety. The first course of its kind to be awarded CPD accreditation, making Amputees in Action a market leader in the field, it was described by the CPD Standards Office as ‘one of the most inventive and creative that they have seen for some time’.

“Over the last 10 years, the agency has developed dramatically. In addition to introducing professional training programmes for our actors and our moulage artists, we have also secured a number of ISO accreditations to ensure the highest professional standards in everything we do. We also moved to new premises in 2012 to accommodate the expansion of our business and provide new training facilities. In addition, we’ve developed ever closer relationships with the emergency services and the military, working with them on the development of a number of new techniques, and proving time and again that the realism we can simulate really can help to save lives. So, we have plenty to celebrate!”

www.amputeesinaction.co.uk

10th anniversary In August of this year, Amputees in Action celebrated its 10th anniversary with an event at the historic Shaw House in Newbury, Berkshire. During the course of the celebrations, John Pickup, Amputees in Action’s Managing Director, outlined some of the company’s achievements over the last 10 years. John spoke of the growing demand for the agency’s services from film and TV production companies and about how Amputees in Action had grown its Defence division with major contract wins for large defence clients in the UK and Europe. He also highlighted the importance of recent work undertaken within the emergency services sector.

Plane crash exercise In May, for example, the agency supported the London Fire Brigade in the largest and most comprehensive exercise in its history – a three-day exercise based around a plane crash in the capital. Amputees in Action provided actors and special effects artists who created simulated burns, cuts and bruises as well as crush and blunt trauma injuries. It was a unique opportunity for the blue light services to work together effectively to practice, in realistic scenarios, the life-saving skills that would be used should a major incident of this kind ever occur in the capital.

Professional casualty simulation John Pickup, who lost his right arm after a motorbike accident at the age of 17 and was the 2009 winner of the Stelios Award for Disabled Entrepreneurs in the UK, said,

Film and television At the forefront of the specialist support artiste industry, Amputees in Action offers casting agents, agencies and directors unique access to a highly experienced roster of professional actors with a range of real-life amputations. Emergency services Most of Amputees in Action’s actors have lost limbs as a direct result of a trauma incident and are uniquely placed to bring their experiences and insight to casualty simulation training exercises for paramedics and other frontline staff in the emergency services. Military Amputees in Action supports pre-deployment and Integrated Management System training for the Army’s medical corps and other troops both at home and abroad. These simulations are often performed by actors from the agency who have themselves lost limbs while on active service.

Reducing the risks with DuPont DuPont has been successfully keeping firefighters safe for over 40 years as the inventor and world’s largest producer of high-performance fabric and fibre solutions, including leading brands DuPont™ Nomex® and Kevlar®. Protective clothing made from Nomex® fibres is inherently flame resistant and the high air permeability of Nomex® also allows body heat to be released from the garment, reducing heat stress – the number one cause of casualties among firefighters. DuPont is demonstrating its new outer shell fabric for the firefighter market, DuPont™ Nomex® 3DP, at The Emergency Services Show 2014 (Stand K32). The fabric

uses integrated fabric technology to provide firefighters with extended escape time and extra seconds of safety, while also offering high comfort levels. It comprises two layers of fabric woven together using an intelligent weaving structure patented by DuPont as Flux Technology. The inner layer consists of DuPont™ Kevlar® with an outer layer of DuPont™ Nomex®. With individual thermal shrinkage patterns, each layer reacts differently to heat flux, triggering increased insulation and providing three-dimensional protection. This intelligent weaving structure also ensures that the garment is breathable and flexible, while optimising durability and mechanical strength to enable longer wear-life and lower repair and replacement costs.

Worn by over three million firefighters The DuPont™ Nomex® fibre is renowned for its heat and flame protection properties and is used in turnout gear for more than three million firefighters around the world. Any garment that incorporates the Nomex® fibre has been put through rigorous testing using DuPont™ Thermo-Man®. This life-sized mannequin system was developed by DuPont to observe the quality of fire fighting materials in an open flame and is one of the most advanced thermal burn injury evaluation devices in the world. For firefighters intervening in a host of situations, including flood and water rescues, car accidents and paramedical tasks, garments made with the Nomex® fibre provide high levels of protection and are comfortable to wear – not just when fighting fires, but also when exposed to the rigours of day-to-day wear. DuPont’s technical

experts and scientists are constantly developing new methods and technology to improve firefighter safety.

Contracts with some of the biggest fire and rescue services Fire and rescue services across the UK use fabrics made with DuPont fibres to protect their firefighters, including London Fire Brigade and Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Most recently, after careful research and a rigorous testing period, West Midlands Fire Service chose to use fabric incorporating DuPont™ Nomex® and DuPont™ Kevlar® fibres in their turnout gear to protect the 2000 men and women firefighters across the county’s 39 community fire stations. DuPont also runs the DuPont™ Nomex® Partner Programme, a carefully-selected network of customeroriented and progressive weavers and garment manufacturers whose fabrics and garments pass the rigorous quality controls of DuPont.

What is the next step in efficiency within a Make Ready System and is it a step that NHS Ambulance Trusts are willing to take? Today’s modern ambulance has many functions, which include: providing the public with an emergency response within eight minutes; attending non-urgent calls; having a hazard area response system; and operating commercial patient transport contracts. In fact, a modern NHS Ambulance Trust is a multi-faceted organisation, operating within an environment with ever-increasing daily demands. These increasing demands have placed many of the Trusts under extreme pressure. Words: MK Johnson – Medical & Technical Service Director, Churchill MakeReady™. Even the addition of the new NHS ‘111’ service, which was intended to lessen demands placed on Accident and Emergency departments, has had the opposite effect, and actually increased demands on this part of the service. The system now generates more calls, which have to be attended alongside the normal day-to-day ‘999’ system, which continues to place its usual demands upon the ever-stretched resource. If the Trusts are to successfully manage and deliver against the Department of Health’s targets and other challenges set by Government, then innovative thinking has to be applied in making these Trusts more highly efficient and cost effective. Inefficiencies in existing operations will need to be reduced and, where possible, eradicated. Furthermore, radical thinking has to be applied to provide more cost-driven solutions that ensure Trusts are able to provide the public with an appropriate service that meets expectations. Much talk is made about the ‘Make Ready’ and vehicle preparation systems that many Trusts have put in place. Indeed, it is often argued that these systems merely provide a halfway house with regards to efficiency and do not actually provide the cost savings that were envisaged several years ago upon introduction within the UK.

However, the real truth is that we may not have progressed these support functions and other partnerships with external commercial providers to the necessary levels; thus not gaining as much from them as is needed to meet today’s pressures from both a financial and operational perspective.

“Making an ambulance ready for service is only a small part of the much bigger jigsaw that is needed to provide better utilisation of the resources available.”

Radical review If the Trusts are indeed to move forward, then the whole concept must be radically reviewed; from the type of ambulance vehicle that is procured right through to how medical consumables are provided. Firstly, taking the design of the ambulance, which is the single largest asset cost. Its current form is not conducive of a system that allows for the speed loading of the vehicle to maximise down time. Currently, the design of the interior varies across all the Trusts and this adds to resultant manufacturing costs as manufacturers are making differing models. Furthermore, the vehicle is not designed to make clinical cleaning and infection control easy. Indeed, the nature of its current design adds increased time to the cleaning process. If a more efficient vehicle preparation or ‘Make Ready’ system is to be adopted then this must be a consideration. The current system of packing loose consumables into small lockers and drawers is also an area of inefficiency; and in the future this is one area that should be improved to bring more efficient packing systems into play. It is a fact that we seem to have been stuck with this model for some considerable time now; however if we are to move forward and make the whole system much more productive, then an open mind is needed as new ideas are proposed.

Stock management and procurement The whole stock management and procurement system is open for improvement. Again, the current model of delivery to many stations of packages of small items is a costly and unproductive method of managing/processing medical consumables. Delivery into a central location within a ‘Make Ready’ or vehicle preparation system allows for greater productivity. This allows packing into known modules, followed by delivery as pre-packed modular packages, which is designed to assist in the speed-loading of ambulances. This is a much more productive, efficient and risk-free methodology, particularly for those Trusts operating a ‘once a day’ vehicle preparation system (for any second crew allocated to the ambulance or response vehicle). Couple this with better designed response bag systems that better fit the vehicles, and which are more manageable, while maintaining the response capability demanded and required by the paramedics. Therefore the whole system can be made more efficient with reduced packing time and crew replenishment timescales. The weight of the modules is a continual issue as more and more medical consumables and devices are added to the response bags. However, there has to be understanding that ‘in the main’ we are continuing to take more and more into a scene of emergency. The manual

ESS2014SHOW GUIDE | EXHIBITOR FOCUS | 81 handling of such weights obviously presents an issue. Simply dividing the loads among many different response modules is not in truth the long-term answer as sole responders and crews still take 90 percent of the bags into the scene with them thus carrying over 30kg of equipment and consumables. In truth, an innovative solution which radically moves away from the old pre-conceptions of response bags, must be sought in identifying a more efficient, more effective and lighter system. One that allows pre-packing and distribution of units, which are then used to form the basis of each response. Clinical staff could then select the relevant modules and add them to the carry device.

“Only by further planned integration with a wider and more diverse scope will we be able to ensure our colleagues are able to lead the world in pre-hospital care.” Recovery system Vehicle breakdowns currently cause a large amount of lost time and crew unavailability. There are many factors to this and it would be foolish to suggest one solution can fix this complex issue; however the integration of a

recovery system into a ‘Make Ready’ or vehicle preparation programme could bring about improvements in reducing cost and, more importantly, making crew available more quickly and efficiently. Tied in with the vehicle preparation/‘Make Ready’ and fleet teams, this service could drastically reduce costs to the Trusts and, more importantly, reduce wasted time. The ‘Make Ready’ recovery vehicle could take a prepared vehicle to a broken-down crew, at which point they can become operational again while the ‘Make Ready’ Recovery Team take the stricken vehicle back to the fleet department for repair and preparation. This would reduce recovery costs to the Trusts and again more importantly, allow crews to be operational much more quickly. There is much debate regarding privatisation of services within the NHS and the likelihood that only the nonprofitable parts will be left within the current system. While in the hospital sector some elements of this may well be true, in the ambulance sector working in conjunction with approved well-sourced partners can bring about benefits that allow money to be better utilised in other areas. Many of the private providers are not weighed down with expensive terms and conditions that add cost to the whole operation and can often operate with far less overheads thus ensuring that the most competitive cost is achieved for the Trust. It is certainly true that in the current and future economic climate, our ambulance services will have to operate with far less funding from Central Government and will therefore need to drive cost bases down even further.

Effective support packages In the future, working with the correct partner organisation will help ensure that our ambulance services remain a publicly provided service. However they will need to adapt and develop a new way of thinking and more parts of the non-patient facing elements will need to be partnered with companies whose expertise can bring about far more effective support packages. This in truth will ensure the front line service is able to continue to meet its ever-increasing targets. Making an ambulance ready for service is only a small part of the much bigger jigsaw that is needed to provide better utilisation of the resources available. Having personally spent over 10 years working closely with the NHS Ambulance Trusts, it is clear that the future will bring: more change; new ideas; and a fresh look at many of the component parts of the support functions, which provide a fully kitted, prepared and infection-free ambulance or response vehicle to highly trained and skilled clinical team(s). Only by further planned integration with a wider and more diverse scope will we be able to ensure our colleagues are able to lead the world in pre-hospital care.
