I am part of the SJA team that assists out of Oldham & occasionally Newham. Yes, you've probably seen us when you clock off as we're in the day shift business. For those who don't know, St John Ambulance volunteers can take an ambulance care course that covers us to do basic ambulance work. We speed about on blues (but without the countryside training in a 17 seater minibus), take orders from Control and attend all sorts of stuff (I've had two 'suspended' that have been reported as 'hurt foot' or 'collapsed' and have been both green jobs). We can't pronounce death, we adhere to SJA protocols (we get a paramedic on scene as soon as we get our FR2 out) and we can't transport anyone without a heartbeat. How do you feel about us? (To the most part everyone I've spoken to on LAS has been very pleasant to us - I wonder if I've ever spoken to you...)
