— That there may be deficiencies in the foundation training of paramedics: 1, one of the paramedics who qualified in 2015 after a 2 year foundation degree gave evidence that he had never had any formal testing on interpretation of 12 lead ECG; : 2. the same paramedic gave evidence that he was not aware from his training that arm pain is a recognised, albeit, atypical sign of myocardial infarction; and 3. two paramedics did not identify obvious ST elevation (the other paramedic completed a dipfoma in paramedic science in August 2012). ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and | believe you have the power to take such action.
