Gaining entry to a patient’s property

Transparent EEAST crest

On occasions, crews may need to gain entrance to a property if they believe it is necessary to save a life and / or someone is reasonably believed to need medical help.

There is Trust approved guidance for ops and EOC staff that you can follow if you’re unsure on what steps you can take, and when.

The document gives a step-by-step guide, including details of who to contact and what permission is needed.

Please take the time to remind yourself of the procedure if you aren’t sure – you can download and print a copy here on East24.
