ATACC Medical Rescue Volvo T5 V70LVO - a nice looking vehicle seen in Deeside belonging to ATACC (Anaesthesia, Trauma & Critical Care)

 

The ATACC Medical Rescue Team exists to provide expert management of patients who are victims of major trauma, at the scene of the incident and en route to hospital. In addition the team will respond to support any emergency service for any emergency call, if our input would be of benefit to the patient.

 

BACKGROUND

 

The team was formally inaugurated post 9/11 when ATACC’s unique skill mix were called upon to provide 2 medical rescue teams to cover the Commonwealth Games in Manchester.

 

This clearly demonstrated that a Fire Service Officer could comfortably integrate and lead an advanced medical team, adopting the team approach. Since then, the team has an impressive portfolio, supporting a range of emergency services across the North West.

 

A regular roster of cover is offered during busy weekend and public holiday periods to Mersey Regional Ambulance Service. Whenever the team is operational, a Consultant Anaesthetist is on-call to either respond to scene or provide advice
