It means that if you call 999 you shouldn't necessarily expect to go to hospital, but that the ambulance clinician will decide which is the most appropriate pathway for you (GP / Out of Hours / Paramedic Practitioner / Intermediate Care etc).<br /> <br />Some of our trucks have got FAST written on the side (the stroke acronym, but you'd be surprised how many people think it's to do with how we drive...)Spence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-91437886704136513182012-07-13T13:41:47.503+00:002012-07-13T13:41:47.503+00:00Hi Spence,

Colleagues and I are ripe with theories as to what it means in nhs jargon, but suspect none of them are right - can you enlighten us?<br /><br />Fantastic blog - love your descriptive writing.<br /><br />MarianneMariannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-40256677369487016062012-07-13T09:12:26.810+00:002012-07-13T09:12:26.810+00:00Wynn - Me too!
