999 – call back later if the patient getsworse
THE ambulance service in Kent has been asking some emergency callers to assess the condition of a patient - and to call back if it has worsened. The responsibility this puts on un-
qualified relatives and friends is being taken up by the GP-ledWest Kent Clinical Commissioning Group. The chief executive of South East
Coast Ambulance Service (SE- CAmb) has been asked to attend and report to the group’s governing body. The group is concerned about the
impact on west Kent patients, ‘par- ticularly around life threatening in- cidents’. A report to the group also ques-
tioned the “openness and trans- parency” of SECAmb to callers aroundwaiting times. Patientswere being asked if “they have exhausted all options and advice and to ring backwhen there is adeterioration in condition”. This is the latest episode in a long series of problems for SECAmb,
Concerns are being looked into over changes to SECAmb priorities Picture: SECAmb
which have led to it being placed in special measures by the national CareQuality Commission (CQC). A spokesman for SECAmb told
DownsMail: “Alongwith all ambu- lance serviceswe have been and re- main very busy. All calls are triaged based on the
information provided by the caller and we prioritise our response to ourmost seriously-ill or life-threat- ened patients. Where callers need

ongoing advice prior to the arrival of ambulance clinicians,wewill re- main on the linewith them. “When a call is triaged, the caller
will be told the outcome andwhich priority of call they have been as- signed. “When concluding a call, the
caller will be given advice and told to call back if the patient’s condition worsens. “We recognise there is a lotmore
work to be done, both here and in less serious calls, to further improve our response time performance. “We are committed to improving
the time it takes for us to answer calls and have an ongoing recruit- ment campaign to increase the number of emergency medical ad- visers in our emergency operations centres. “We expect overall performance
to improve from this encouraging start as we further refine our fleet and operational model, working with commissioners as part of our ‘joint demand and capacity re- view’.”
