If I have to travel further are the paramedics trained to look after me when I am in the ambulance?

All paramedics are trained to provide life-saving interventions for patients who have suffered suspected major trauma.  Also, as a part of this development, paramedics have received additional training to ensure their skills are developed to the highest possible levels.  Furthermore, there is a trauma desk staffed by specialist paramedics 24 hours a day, which helps in identifying patients who need to be immediately taken to the major trauma centre. The trauma desk is co-located with air ambulance desk at ambulance control.
