Hi guys,
I understand that Australian and UK Paramedics are quite interchangeable. I wonder however what the triage system is like in Australia in terms of how much bullsh1t you get sent to over there, and what the shift patterns are like, how good the pay is etc. Also do you have fast response cars like we do here in the UK, as this is my preferred method of working as I do here.
I have never seen station during a shift on an ambulance in all my years of working on one, we never get breaks during a 12 hour shift and to sleep during a shift is quite literally unheard of. Is it the same in Aus? Here we just green up and go from job to job to job until the shift is over.
Any other comments that any Aus Paramedics would like to throw in, please feel free.
thanks
