Telephone Reassurance For Responders
Reachback Remote Medical Service supports your first responders to make the right clinical decisions and act quickly and effectively when facing medical emergencies, giving confidence and reassurance to carry out life-saving procedures beyond a green first aid box.
Examples of serious Reachback scenarios include remote medical telephone consultation for trauma related, RIDDOR reportable incidents, for entrapment in machinery, crush injuries, amputation of limbs and head injuries. Reachback can also be used for an expert opinion for decision making related to chest pains, severe headaches, serious burns and mental health crisis.
Supported Decision Making
Reachback Remote Medical Services can also be used to support routine clinical decision making such as should a patient return to work or stop and seek medical review. Do they need immediate medical attention or can it wait? Do they need taken to hospital and, if so, what is the best transport means?
First Responders have the reassurance of supported decision making from a qualified doctor, meaning they are backed-up at critical times adding another layer of resilience to your health and safety strategy whether that is how to assess a situation, treat a wound, or administer pain medication.
Reduce Medical Risk
In the UK, RIDDOR suggests over 60,000 reported workplace injuries between 2022/23. This includes slips, trips, falls (32%), Handling, lifting, carrying (17%), struck by moving object (11%) and fall from height (8%). Being equipped with Reachback Remote Medical Service for such events ensures those are treated swiftly, competently, confidently and with composure. Some of these categories present higher risk of fatality or lost time injuries than others, and for trauma, it is especially important to react quickly.
Your Reachback doctors will know and understand the specific circumstances, capabilities and constraints of clinical care in each location we support – reducing risk and saving lives.
