Remember, you are what people see when they think of the NHS. Do not ignore callouts when you are talking to members of the community, this also includes gambling feel free to gamble but if we see you gambling while people are downed you will be punished. Patients are always more important and should always take priority.
# Responding
When arriving on the scene, it is always best to follow the OTR procedure.
O - OBSERVE - While arriving on scene and once you have, take a look around, if there appear to be people still hiding in buildings or using cover it is most likely that the situation is not over and it would be best to wait a bit for example.
T - TALK - After ensuring the situation is clear and safe for yourself proceeded to talk to the patients and or any bystanders to learn about what happened and whether it would be safe to continue reviving people.
R - REVIVE - If after both your visual checks and verbal ones you are satisfied with the situation is clear, revive in the correct reviving order.
# Specific Scenarios
Shots Fired - When shots are fired at a situation it is therefore considered active and you are to leave immediately - Press Shift+5 to mark the situation active before leaving.
Accidental Misfire - This should still be treated as an active situation - Shift+5 to mark the situation active, leave marked area till time is up.
Accidents - As a member of the NHS you are expected to be helpful and should attempt to fix all vehicles and heal all people at scenes of accidents.
Equipment Theft - If your vehicle is stolen you are to immediately contact an admin and inform them of the location and what type of vehicles is stolen.
Bluezones - If you're required at a bluezone, you may open Police gates using your Government Access Keycard by pressing P. You should only do this if there are no officers nearby to open it, if officers are just ignoring you or you have permission to do so. Any other use of this is considered exploiting.
# In Game
