Scottish Ambulance Service & NHS Scotland diorama, 1:76 scale.
Picture -
No changes to the front of this SAS Rapid Response Unit 4x4, however I couldn’t help but snap another picture. Parked outside NHS Lanarkside Mossend District General Hospital. 1:76 scale.
Reality -
I found a new seller on that well known auction site and they make 3D printed figures in a variety of scales. I also took delivery of Vallejo paint - “basic skin tone”. All of my figures who required it have now been repainted into much more natural complexions than their previous pink. I’ve taken these pictures to display two new additions, both Doctors, one figure is a Surgeon (traditionally titled “Mr, Mrs, Ms” rather than Dr in Britain) wearing dark blue scrubs, a surgical face mask and hair cover and holding a clipboard. The second Doctor also holds a clipboard and wears blue scrubs, but also wears a white lab coat. Also featured in this shoot is my 1:76 scale model of a Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS) Paramedic Response Unit (PRU). This model has previously been featured in my pictures, however with an incorrect Battenberg marking set. The Nissan 4x4 shown, which stands in for Hyundai and previously Honda 4x4 vehicles used by the real SAS, now has the correct larger Battenburg markings along with yellow reflective markings around the door pillars.
These vehicles convey a Paramedic clinician to patients in immediate need of assistance and can be targeted to certain calls unlikely to result in conveyance such as diabetic issues and epileptic seizures, where a single Paramedic is likely to resolve the issue and discharge on scene. PRU’s can be further specialised, working either as part of the Special Operations Response Team, as a Mental Health car staffed by a Paramedic and Police Officer or as a “3RU” which responds almost exclusively to Cardiac and Respiratory Arrests. 3RU cars carry an Autopulse which provides automated chest compressions by a device with a built in carry sheet, freeing up Technician and Para hands for other clinical interventions. Paramedics crewing such a car typically have more experience with Intubation/airway management and Intraosseous infusions (IO, infusion into the bone when vascular access is impossible) and travel with the conveying crew, subsequently being dropped back at the locus/their vehicle.
