Dave Branton, Flight Nurse
My Job
Team Work
I look after the medical end but we all work together as one integrated team. Information comes to dispatch. They make our ground arrangements, hotel arrangements and schedule an ambulance if we need one. Dispatch does the flight planning and tells us whether or not it's safe to fly or not.
I can't do my job without the pilots flying me and dispatch can't do their job without us being able to go pick up the patient. There's a lot of give and take. We can't do our jobs without each other.
