I say ambulance, it is a mini bus with ambulance stickers on it. I have volunteered to drive patients to and from hospital. Had my assessment today and start on Monday. Got to admit, I am doing it as much for myself as helping at the same time. Bored senseless at home, so thought I would sign up. Just driving, no contact with patients, so should be all good. |  | | |  |

Applied for same yesterday, in paid furlough and would rather be doing something worthwhile.
Only problem is I've just sent my licence off for points... |  |

Superb 
"it is a mini bus with ambulance stickers on it" do you have to wind down the window and make the 'nee naw' noises yourself? |  |

He should be given an actual blue light & 4 extremely large stickers (including one for the roof), saying "ITFC - Pride of East Anglia" to make it a *proper* Blues & twos! |  |

Infuriatingly I'm diabetic,, therefore 'at risk' and so can't do any of the jobs bar speaking to isolated people on the 'phone. And I'd be truly dreadful at that. |  |

You've done something useful in passing the idea on to me tho, I think I could be OK in that role. | |

I'd probably lose patience if people were starting to get self-pitying, albeit understandably.
I've applied for a driving role anyway, just to see if I'm OK. I can't see the problem if I'm delivering stuff between NHS premises. [Post edited 26 Mar 2020 12:21]

They called it an ambulance. I shall be taking patients to and from hospital. No 999 calls. 8 seats and 4 wheel chair places with a ramp. Basically a taxi. | | | |

When I did my 'sick patient transfer' training Several Years Ago, it really opened my eyes to hw dangerous moving the very sick any kind of distance can be.
Fast forward a few days and we have a specialist team in to transfer someone desperately sick to A Specialist Unit. Transfer team consisted of a senior nurse, paramedic and senior intensivist. Whilst the other two were fine-tuning the patient I asked the driver, so, how do you transport someone this ill safely'?
His reply was 'well, they load 'em into the van and then I drive like f*ck'. |  |

Surely about 30 years of reading & posting on TWTD would have been perfect training?!
Well done on applying for the driving role tho. [Post edited 26 Mar 2020 14:53]

Tried, but unfortunately they depend on people using mobiles to download app etc., and I can't get a signal in house - where only landline works :( | |
