It is like an FME?

It is like an FME?

Sorry for the late reply mate, work has been absolutely manic.

An FME has to be a Doctor, they generally manage a whole borough and all the respective custody suites within said borough. They also lead the medical teams at all respective custody suites. The individual custody suites themselves are staffed by one or two nurses/paramedics who are responsible for the duties listed in my prior post within that custody suite.

Hope this answer helps, thanks for the question and if you have any further please feel free to reach out.

Kind Regards,

After discussion with LAS command, we are unfortunately going to decline your suggestion. We feel it won't be utilised enough at this current stage to implement this.
