Enhanced communications & ultrasound

Paramedics will perform standardised point-of-care ultrasound scan protocols (specific to the patient's symptom set) and record a short (\<1 minute) video summarising the patient's condition and current management. These will be transmitted via satellite to consultants at the receiving hospital before the ambulance leaves the incident scene. The emergency department consultants will provide support and advice on continuing patient management via standard ambulance communications systems while it is en route to the hospital.
