You're so right about Call Connect - it's a dead/seriously injured ambulance person waiting to happen. In my service, solo responders are sent to everything, and since call connect the amount and quality of the information we get has got worse and worse - after all, once control have sent a resource, why bother wasting time finding out what that resource might find? Oh yes, and they've been talking new radios since I joined the NHS and that's long before 7/7 (and longer than I care to remember). I'm not holding my breath waiting for Airwave.
