The Major Incident Plan (MIP) describes the response of South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust at the time of a major emergency. It has been prepared as part of meeting our reasonability’s under the Civil Contingencies Act, 2004 (CCA) and the Health and Social Care Act 2012. As Chief Executive, I accept executive responsibility for Emergency Preparedness, Resilience and Response (EPRR) arrangements and this MIP has been adopted and approved by the Trust Board. The arrangements in this plan form the basis of the Trust’s generic response to a major incident. However, the Trust’s operational area contains a wide range of hazards each having potential to become ‘major incidents’. The information F F contained in this MIP offers guidance and direction, but every incident will also F require ambulance staff to display flexibility, professionalism and initiative. O O O All staff should familiarise themselves with the contents of this plan, not only as R R preparation for their response to an incident, but to feed back useful information R and suggested improvements. W W W The MIP is supported by individual Action Cards and specific, linked contingency A A plans. Ambulance staff will be trained and exercised in the IRP to ensure an A effective response. Debriefing of, and feedback from ambulance staff will ensure R R that this MIP remains up-to-date and relevant. It presents the Trust with the very R best opportunity of continually improving the care which we provide to the patients D D of major incidents. D This Trust develops its strategic, tactical and operational responses in cooperation with partner agencies in the Local Health Resilience Partnerships and Local Resilience Forums. Extensive consultation has also been undertaken with the other emergency services, local authorities, the military, and the voluntary sector. By its very nature, this plan will be subject to frequent review and, if necessary, revised to reflect the changing requirements of the NHS.

  • Workplace Culture at Southwestern Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust. an Independent Report Commissioned By
    Workplace Culture at Southwestern Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust. An Independent Report Commissioned by in partnership with October 2018 Professor Duncan Lewis Plymouth University Business School & Longbow Associates Ltd Executive Summary This is a study and not an enquiry and the researchers have no jurisdiction to suggest sanctions or actions, instead to report and advise on what they have found and to make any recommendations where appropriate. Any reports from staff shared with the research team are done so without any further investigation. This report is the outcome of a four-month study into workplace culture at South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SWAST). A major feature of the study is the need to understand perceived organisation culture in relation to workplace behaviour in the Trust. The study deployed a mixed-methods approach of staff survey and over 120 hours of one- to-one telephone interviews generated through contacts from completed surveys (self- generated interview requests). The data gathered using these methods have been used to produce this report. It is important that readers recognise that this is a cross-sectional study – a snapshot in a moment in time from a sample of staff at SWAST. The staff who responded, as with any survey, self-select to take part. All staff were invited to take part and thus it was not a random sampling approach. The data has been used to produce an assessment of responses to questions/issues known to be associated with aspects of workplace culture that can lead to matters associated with bullying and harassment but, because of its cross- sectional nature, the data cannot be used to indicate cause and effect associations.
