There's many pro's and cons, But my personal view is that there needs to be something in place that prevents those that claim to be first aiders, because they did an FA course 20 years ago.

On the subject of protected titles, Emergency Medical Technician currently is un protected. There's a few that need to change, and personally, First Aider needs to become one of them. Far to often i've met people claiming to be a first aider, or knowing first aid because "they've watched casualty" As for Tree surgeons, I believe that would be quiet safe as long as the Tree part is there

TFA is a complete waste of time, They should have stuck with the intro course then FA. Also, I support SJA preventing members wearing a Hi-Vis when it's not appropriate, But it should be down to the Duty Officer to decide if it's a requirement as part of their risk assessment, Not RHQ deciding to outlaw them. Also, it is a shame and common occurrence, some people would either just walk on when someone is in need, Or be too frightened to do anything, As they don't know what to do. This is where SJA is making a difference in training and offering advice (their Helpless campaign for one) https://www.youtube....player_embedded

well, back from the meeting... what a joke. They've appointed new members to high roles within SJA, went to get my CRB renewed, idiot came up with "we can't use birth certificates for crb checks as we don't class it as part of your ID"...... Anyways, they've really screwed things up by going regional, Rank structure review isn't being taken seriously, The wrong people are in the wrong places, They've "made it easier for members to join" then went on to list 15 stages to the joining process... No wonder members are leaving or not even bothering to see the joining process though. As for the Hi-Vis, If i deem it necessary to have it as part of my own dynamic risk assessment, I'll be more than happy to take it up with the high ups that don't bother to turn up to duties and explain to them how much i would be suing them should i have an accident because i wasn't seen because they denied my PPE. Then see where their new rules on banning them are.

He was trying to sell home improvements, Not that we needed it, the house is in top condition, Anyways, Yes I'll be sure to let them know MEMBERS MATTER! I'll also be bringing up a complaint regarding ID's. Mine went through the wash about 4 months ago, and only just shows my name, Yet each time i as for a replacement, nothing gets done. So yes, Getting to meet the big chiefs and express my thoughts. As for SDU, goodluck with it, I'm already fighting for a new pair of trousers, As my 1 pair are falling apart. Also, with the introduction of SDU, there's a parker jacket (not hi-vis) that none of the units are allowed to order, As they're too expensive, so we have just the normal fleecy reversible jacket (can be seen a few pages back) and we're told this is our new hi-vis. It has *NO* reflective on it. All hi-vis jackets will be banned from use. But... Isn't a Hi-Vis jacket part of our PPE? I've worked out on the road where a hi-vis was vital, At LARGE events, with mass crowds, wearing a black jacket won't cut it. For me to be identifiable in an incident where i needed to be located by staff else where, or by members of the public, a Hi-Vis enables people to see that you're there for a reason, Not just another member of the crowd. Anyways, saving my rant for later on

Funny thing happened today Salesman popped up as i was leaving out (I was wearing the SDU) and offers to sell me something, i say no thanks, he then pipes up "Oh, I'm in st johns as well" thought fair enough, small world eh? Gets slightly iffy here. I ask what is his role, he explains he's a Cycle responder for my area (This is where i doubt him, As we've only just got a cycle responder unit and yours truly is in training) but i go along with it. "I've delivered babies, it's amazing" cool i thought, Amazing feeling that. The next part worried me slightly, "You seen many dead people" thankfully, In SJA, I have not, so i explained that. He then comes back with "oh shame, I've seen loads mate, f** loads". Now this guy is either a class A Bullshooter, or a very bad medic He asks my role, So i explain I'm a youth leader and run our local cadet division. He then asks what cadets are.... thought ok, Not everyone knows about our youth side of the organisation... So i've come to the conclusion salesmen will try anything to get a sale. Anyways, Our region has finally realised it has members, so tomorrow night, I get to meet my line manager for the first time. Yay...

The only content we're sharing outside of playing the mod is provided on the first post, We currently have no plans to allow use of the skins on other developments, But if this changes, I'm sure we'll announce it somewhere on the first post. Glad to see you're supporting so many mods. As for news on the Mod, We don't have a definite release date, But we'll keep everyone informed of our plans via this thread.

I'm sure we'll continue the good work To Answer your off topic q, i believe site admins can edit user names, So your best bet would be to contact and Admin/Moderator regarding it.

Hi Everyone, Just an update from all of us, We're proud to be showing off our West Midlands Emergency Services fleet for Version 1, consisting of many vehicles. There's also a video displaying some of the light work. As for the Mod itself, Lighting is complete and we're looking to Release Version 1.0 within the next few weeks, So keep an eye on the topic! [media=]

Once I've finished the vehicles that need finishing off, I'll give it a go

Very impressed with what you've managed to light, And no worries, I was going to help out with lights anyway, So I'm happy with doing them atm Loving the ambulances, Added the final lights to them and they're amazing, same as the rest of them really. Can't wait for them to be shown off. All that's left is the finishing lights for the Police and one more vehicle to light for the Fire Service.
