... ist vor dem nächsten Einsatz. Aufbereiten des RTWs.
After the mission...
... is before the next one. Preparing the Ambulance.
Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS) station in 1/76 scale (OO Gauge), with Diecast scale models. Featuring Accident & Emergency (A&E) units, including Urgent Tier. Paramedic Response Units (PRU), Non-Emergency Patient Transport Service and visiting British Red Cross and SAS Driver Training Unit vehicles. A number of hand painted plastic figures are present, with A&E staff in the old “Irish Green” uniforms and PTS staff in light blue. A Police Officer can be seen climbing into the passenger seat of a BMW electric powered PRU, which is being used as a Mental Health response unit alongside a Paramedic.
Police escort Ambulance to A&E.
Having called ahead to the Emergency Department with a “Standby” or Pre-Alert, advising Hospital staff of the imminent arrival of a patient to the Resuscitation Area, the Ambulance now arrives with an escort by; Police Scotland (PolScot), Roads Policing Unit (RPU) Audi - SV12DPZ and Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS), Paramedic Response Unit (PRU) BMW i3 - LJ66EUU.
Mossend District General Hospital, part of NHS Lanarkside is a medium sized teaching Hospital within Belshotmuir, North Lanarkside. While without Major Trauma specialists it has a 24/7 Stroke Team and Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PPCI) for the treatment of Heart Attacks, a catheter is inserted through the wrist and passes through the blood vessels to the blocked artery and removes the clot while leaving a stent to keep the vessel open and blood flowing. This facility also allows for day patient angiography. With 510 bed capacity, Mossend serves a wide catchment area including several towns, multiple villages and a major motorway connecting Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Police vehicles are a common sight at Hospitals across the country, some have their own dedicated Officers with an office to use. Again, not pictured but often seen at Hospitals across Britain are the Red Cross, between social care services, assisting with arranging post discharge home visits and care packages to assisting the Ambulance Services with low acuity discharges - those brought to Hospital by Ambulance and who require one due to mobility but don’t require treatment or interventions from a clinically trained crew. Indeed, out of shot, Mossend has a Portakabin in spare ground next to A&E for use as a crew room/rest room by SAS, Police Scotland, Red Cross.
In reality this is a diorama using Kingsway Models 1:76 scale kit of the equally fictional Holby Emergency Department from BBC shows Casualty and Holby City. The models are a mix of 1:76 and 1:64 scale from varying manufactures and include a number of Code 3 adaptions, my own work, except for the PolScot Transit which is Code 3 and bought online.
SH62XDY, a Mercedes Benz Sprinter, box body Accident & Emergency vehicle of the Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS), crewed by an Ambulance Technician & Paramedic, parked in a designated “Resus Only” bay - for the most critical and time critical patients who will be assessed and treated in the Resuscitation Area of the Emergency Department. This can include serious injuries, critical illness such as sepsis, major haemorrhage, stroke (to be met by the stroke team, window for treatment is 4 hours for clot type CVA’s). Typically the crew will have provided a “standby” or pre-alert call to the Department upon leaving the locus, providing information using a mnemonic such as ATMIST (Age, Time, Mechanism/Illness, Injuries suspected, Signs (physiological observations), Treatment given). This allows specialist teams to assemble and meet the patient, hearing the original handover from the crew, while allowing blood products and medications to be prepared in anticipation.
The crew can be seen in the background providing a handover to two Doctors waiting at the Ambulance Only door, their patient lying flat on a trolley. Upon entering they will turn right to enter Resus. Mossend District General Hospital, part of NHS Lanarkside is a medium sized teaching Hospital within Belshotmuir, North Lanarkside.

Nearby a Police Officer stands outside between the Ambulance and Main entrances, updating the Force Control Centre (FCC) by Airwave radio on the condition of a patient she escorted to hospital.

In reality the model is a 1:76 scale Oxford Diecast, with the figures being 3D printed and bought from eBay, painted by me. The Hospital is a card model made by the wonderful Kingsway Models. It is based on the Emergency Department of the equally fictional Holby City Hospital, featured in the BBC’s “Casualty” & “Holby City”. The story/background comes from my previous work experience both within hospitals and in the driver seat/attendant seat of an ambulance.
I was based at Springburn Ambulance Station and so was thrilled to learn that a model was being released of Springburn’s (Glasgow Central Ambulance Station) fully electric powered BMW i3. This car was used as a Paramedic Response Unit across the city, as well as being used in the Mental Health car trial, in which it was crewed by a Paramedic and Police Officer.
The model is pictured here providing an escort to SH62 XDY, a Mercedes Sprinter, box body A&E Double Crewed Ambulance. The patient is critically unwell and their details have been radioed ahead to the Resuscitation Department. The PRU Paramedic has escorted the ambulance, ready to pull over and assist should the patient have deteriorated en-route. As they were first on scene it is also helpful for them to provide the handover to Emergency Dept staff, maintaining continuity of care.

Recently I added the 1:64 scale British Red Cross Land Rover model to my collection. I’ve been keen to lay my hands on it since I heard the model had been commissioned, as I first volunteered with BRC as an event First Aider at 15 years old. I decided to do a photoshoot with this new addition, and chose to use the Belshotmuir Tri-Emergency Service Station diorama, utilising the Kingsway Models kit “Gainsborough Fire Station 1:76 scale”. The photoshoot takes place during an open day.
On show are:
Scottish Fire & Rescue Service - Crew present equipment next to Pump Ladder appliance, Aerial Rescue Pump and Officers car.
Scottish Ambulance Service in attendance put on a demonstration of dealing with an unconscious casualty. SAS are here with a 4x4 Paramedic Response Unit (PRU), a non-emergency Patient Transport Service ambulance and Care Assistant, and an Accident & Emergency Mercedes Benz Sprinter box body ambulance.
Tayside Police are represented by two Eastern Division (Angus) resources, local beat/response car Echo Mike 1-1 (Eastern Mobile, section 1 beat 1) and Roads Policing Unit (RPU) car Echo Tango 63 (Eastern Traffic car 63). Central Division, Dundee City, have sent the City Centre cell van callsign Charlie Mike 1-1 (Central Mobile, section 1 beat 1).

The British Red Cross is a humanitarian organisation with special auxiliary role with standing invitation to provide humanitarian services and aid. The model shown here is a Search & Rescue ambulance and represents the Emergency Response side of BRC. The Red Cross can respond to individuals in need, such as through their Fire & Emergency Support Service who attend the locus of home fires for example to provide shelter, toiletries, food and assistance with temporary accommodation and more. BRC also respond to regional and National emergencies, providing ambulance vehicles and crews and, as shown by this 1:64 scale model, a fleet of all terrain vehicles equipped with defibrillators.
