Advanced life support by paramedics in the field — endotracheal intubation and intravenous fluid management — does not improve survival in trauma patients, researchers here said.

Three young men and two youths have gone on trial accused of violence around an attack on two paramedics. The crew were answering a 999 call in a street in Cardiff last November.

1649 people signed an online petition asking the UK government to educate the public on the appropriate use of the 999 “emergency” service. The government says the local NHS authorities should do it. What a load of bollocks! Do police and fire know they are now run by the NHS?
