Hi SteveT, Apologies to all of Toms Ambo readers, but how many non-Ambo readers are aware that the ORCON standards you refer to mean that if we take 7 mins and 59 seconds to reach a cardiac arrest but declare the patient deceased this is a success. Whilst an 8 min and 1 second response to an arrest with the patient walking out of hospital some days later is deemed a failure. When will someone in high office within the NHS scrap this stupid standard that gets under the skin of every ambo I have soken to
