Evidence-informed guidance for organisations planning care in complex prehospital environments—written to support better questions, clearer decisions and stronger operational preparation.
Each briefing examines a defined operational problem, connects it to current guidance and identifies the questions organisations should resolve before work begins. Publications are educational and planning-focused; they do not replace site-specific assessment, clinical governance or competent legal and technical advice.
How rescue timelines, specified risks, clinical access, onsite paramedic capability and NHS HART should be considered within one coherent rescue plan.
How patient trajectory, clinical dependencies, deterioration risk, journey exposure and verified crew capability should shape transfer planning.
How scope, competence, medicines, equipment and provider governance determine what paramedic capability can safely deliver beyond a conventional ambulance setting.
Compass Clinical Briefings are reviewed against the cited sources before publication and reviewed annually, or earlier where material regulatory, clinical or operational change makes that necessary.
