NHS roll out of body cams in boost to ambulance crews safety
Thousands of ambulance crews across the country will be provided with body cameras as part of an NHS crackdown to reduce attacks on staff.
The introduction of the cameras comes alongside data that 3,569 ambulance staff were physically assaulted by the public last year – 30% more than five years ago.
Following successful trials in London and the North East, the NHS in England will roll out the cameras to crews in the 10 ambulance trusts across the country – three years ahead of the NHS Long Term Plan target.
Medics will wear the cameras and be able to press a button to start recording if patients or the public become aggressive or abusive, with filming made available to police where needed.
The ambulances were procured by NLCIL at a cost of ₹59 lakh under its Corporate Social Responsibility initiaitve, and have basic life support systems and oxygen delivery systems
