The only problem with the Health Care Professional Questioning Protocol which is used in London, is that it has the unhappy knack of over-prioritising run of the mill requests for transport, and under-categorizing more serious matters.
On the first day of it's inception I was working on Tom's sector, and spoke at length to a crew who had done a hospital to hospital transfer, which was given as a "blue light" transfer. It wasn't - it was an Out patients appointment. The following day - on my own sector - I received a request for transport for a doctors' surgery within 2 hours, for an 85 year old female with "a low pulse". Having one of those "funny feelings" you sometimes get, I sent an ambulance immediately. Within 20 minutes the lady was being blue-lighted to hospital with a bradycardia of 30 bpm!!!
