First Aid-calling an ambulance?


Hi everyone, Im going to be teaching some people from the Army Cadet Force first aid soon, i have been doing this for while now, however i heard a eumonik about what is required in an emergency call, can anyone help me? this would be really handy, thank you :)

Found it its psas
Place
state
age
sex

Who - no name for the patient required, just gender and approximate age. A man in his 20s.
What - again, to the best of their knowledge. It was a car accident and he's unconscious. He's bleeding from the ears and not moving.
Where - at the corner of High and Maple.
When - About two minutes ago.
How- The car hit a pole. I think he may have slid into it.

Just like in the newspapers. Truthfully, the dispatcher will lead caller through the required information, and all they have to do is listen and answer to the best of their ability.

I'm a first aider and I don't know what a eumonik is so I don't think I can tell you what you want to know.
The thing that is required when making an emergency call is, as many details of the injury and the location of the patient as possible. Keeping calm is essential.

Shoot the wounded and advance.

Is this the one?
Emergency Services 999

Please only use 999 to report emergency situations. There is a helpful mnemonic to remember when to use 999:

Phone 999 only if:
Offenders are nearby
Life is at risk
Injury is caused or threatened
Crime or disorder is in progress
Emergency situations

1 who and how many are hurt, genders and approx ages anybody with disabilities
2 where you are as precisely as poss
3 the extent of injuries for each person
4 how long ago it happened approx
5 how the injuries happened, eg. car accident
6 if there are any dangers to any rescue teams, like possible fire hazards, rivers, felled electricity pole etc.
!!!as a first teacher you should already know this!!!

I think you mean mnemonic!
Try this one
ABC (and extensions of this initialism) is a mnemonic for memorizing essential steps in dealing with an unconscious or unresponsive patient. It stands for Airway, Breathing and Circulation. Some protocols add additional steps, such as an optional "D" step for Disability or Defibrillation. It is a reminder of the priorities for assessment and treatment of many acute medical situations, from first-aid to hospital medical treatment. Airway, breathing and circulation are vital for life, and each is required, in that order, for the next to be effective.

Another one is the 3 B's Breathing, Beating and Bleeding, which i learned on a First Aid at Work course
