In this episode of the St Emlyn's podcast, hosts Iain Beardsell and Liz Crowe speak with Sean Brayford Harris, a paramedic and interoperability development officer with the London Ambulance Service, about the development of the 10 second triage tool—a new, streamlined method for triaging casualties in high-stress environments like major incidents.
They discuss its creation and implementation, including collaboration with the Metropolitan Police and other emergency services. Key points include the shortcomings of the previous 'sieve and sort' system, the challenges of developing a simplified tool, and the benefits of this new approach for non-medical first responders.
The episode emphasizes the importance of cross-team collaboration in emergency scenarios and the potential impact of the tool on reducing distress and improving outcomes for both responders and patients.
