The St. John lot I've met so far are all really nice, although they do
seem to like nursing their drunks outside their ambulances.
Three jobs so far, two drunks (one who'd fell over) and a bellyache.
Normal Monday night then.

Why do people bring little kids in buggies to such events? Madness!

Currently having a cup of tea from the St John 'Teapot 2' parked under Admiralty arch. Did have to lug the kit by foot from St Thomas' to here, for some reason all the roads are closed... Heading for a 'mingle'. Sent from my mobile.

First part of our briefing is over. Still way more chiefs than
indians, oh well. We've been told that this is the biggest year ever with 500,000 people expected over a larger area than before. The briefing started with a Primal Scream tune playing over videos of crowds. I'm pondering running away. Seems well planned though, lots of lessons learnt from last year. We also have a fallback communication system for if/when Airwave falls over. There are 13 treatment centres dotted across the area and I'm one of 12 Forward Incident Teams. There are 17 SJA ambulances and 4 LAS ambulances. We may end up waiting for one for a while. Now I'm waiting for the FIT briefing, about what we are supposed to be doing when we hit the ground...

Waiting for the briefing to start. I've never seen so many officers in
one place. It makes me, who tries to avoid management whenever possible, a trifle nervous. Sent from my mobile.

While most of the world is out partying, I'll be running around central London on foot with two members of St John ambulance dealing with Three words. Hogarth, Gin Lane. I'll be live-blogging the night (if time permits) and, all going well, The Guardian should be publishing a piece by me tomorrow. Wish me luck! |
