We would like to summarise with a paragraph written by "Len Watson" resqmed.com It is all about saving life from what he says is the unnecessary waste in human performance when delivering Rescue at roadside - "In this day and age, within G20 countries, poor performance is unacceptable. More has to be done to develop an interactive approach so that medical and technical rescue works efficiently hand in glove together. Segregated training has no part in life-saving rescue and only breaths bias and indifference, and segregated services that cannot fully deliver"
