easy codes to remember. i think easier than our 8842, 8462 etc. more of us though.

medevac · « **Reply #8 on:** March 17, 2006, 09:12:10 AM »

mmm initials would be easier than numbers, but im not sure if the MFS dispatch system could take it?? plus its prob just easier to assign a station a number than try to work out initials for diff stations with similar... aahhh,,, letters.

im not sure if this has been covered but was speaking to my brother the other day (paramedic) and he explained some of the codes to me..

take for instance;
PP81 - Pt Pirie; starting 0800; bus 1
PP84 - Pt Pirie; starting 0800; bus 4
PP181 - Pt Pirie; starting 1800; bus 1

SA108 - Salisbury; starting 1000; transfer car

apparently some of the 7s8s9s will do transfer runs... max of a cat. 3
if anyone else has conflicting info or more info then feel free... this is just what i remember from our convo.

Mike · « **Reply #9 on:** March 17, 2006, 09:30:13 AM »

Very close to my understanding.... the last digit relates to the job types

Last number identifier and Crew type
No number Emergency
1 Emergency
2 Emergency
3 Emergency
4 Emergency
5 Student Paramedic crew (one senior paramedic student, one junior student)
6 Second Medical Transport Service crew from a station (one paramedic, one ATS officer)
7 Medical Transport Service (one paramedic, one ATS officer)
8 Ambulance Transport Service (Shift starting on the hour)
9 Ambulance Transport Service (Shift starting on the half hour)

40 Sporting standbys / Level 4 volunteer crews that cannot transport patients
88 Volunteer on call crew

( Thanks to Mattb's website

)

^^ Yep.. thats correct.

Thanx for the insight in the starting time codes Medevac.. Didn't know that bit

probie_boy · « **Reply #11 on:** March 17, 2006, 10:45:47 AM »

yeah, my uncles a volly with strath ambos. he explained the catergory thing to me one night. At strath he does heaps of transfers just from like local hospitals to RAH and so on.

mattb · « **Reply #12 on:** March 17, 2006, 11:15:12 AM »

Good work on that list, maybe once it is complete we could compile it into a text file, I would be happy to have it available on my website.

If you haven't found it already have a look at http://users.chariot.net.au/~mattb/scan/scanner.htm and click on the SA Ambulance link for more info on SAAS Communications.

I didnt know Aldgate had a tanker?

probie_boy · « **Reply #14 on:** March 20, 2006, 08:16:27 AM »

hahaha. i didn't either. the things you learn ay?

medevac · « **Reply #15 on:** March 22, 2006, 11:32:26 PM »

hmmm saw a "cat7" the other day... any ideas? typo?

Sam · « **Reply #16 on:** March 23, 2006, 07:57:27 AM »

Hi All,

Just my thoughts and ideas...

81 Paramedic 0800 - 1800
84 Paramedic 0800 - 1800 Intensive care (some places)

181 Paramedic 1800 - 0800
188 Paramedic 1800 - 0800 We have paid oncall staff here, so it is not volley. If a volley crew is on call they will become just (town181...) Or if they are single crew it will be (town40)...
The numbers have nothing to do with the fleet (vehicle) that is used on the shift. It changes in some locations, especially the city regually. When you see the page go out to the district manager? of country crewing status the L4 means it is a single person, and full is obviously full crew. I have quite a few codes to add as well.
I hope this boring post entertained someone!

Sam

probie_boy · « **Reply #17 on:** March 23, 2006, 08:34:29 AM »

i'm sure it did sam.(yawns)

i think cat 7 might have been a typo, if not it simply means that it is a transport job, they're basically just ferrying patients from one hospital to the other. The amount of trips my uncle does from strath or victor hospital to town is crazy, it can be up to 2-3 a shift.

mattb · « **Reply #18 on:** March 23, 2006, 12:31:16 PM »

Hey Probie, is it correct that Strath now have some paid crews ??

probie_boy · « **Reply #19 on:** March 23, 2006, 01:18:11 PM »

i'm not sure. I think that they share some crew sometimes with Mt Barker. There's always a couple of paid people there that do instructing and so on. I'll have to ask my uncle next time i see him.

mattb · « **Reply #20 on:** March 23, 2006, 01:32:18 PM »

Also another code to add to your list is - PM400 Community Responder from Port McDonnell

probie_boy · « **Reply #21 on:** March 23, 2006, 01:34:44 PM »

hey matt would you ever consider changing your online scanner into text format? Could it be done easily enough?

mattb · « **Reply #22 on:** March 23, 2006, 02:55:00 PM »

Hadn't ever considered it, sounds like a bit of work. Why would you want it to be text

probie_boy · « **Reply #23 on:** March 23, 2006, 04:28:55 PM »

coz my crappy computers slow and streaming never works!

medevac · « **Reply #24 on:** March 24, 2006, 05:48:36 AM »

F76 Cat7 Noarlunga Ambulance Station 26 Flaxmill Rd, Morphett Vale 186 F5
