Observer - Third Manning
The Third Manning / Observer Procedure exists to ensure that
there is a safe and auditable approach within SECAmb for our staff
and members of the public when third manning or observing on a
Trust vehicle.
Anyone requesting to go out with a crew should apply via the
following process:
We offer this facility to
applicants who are aged 18 years and over, who are in the medical
profession already or actively studying within it.
Step 1
Download and complete our indemnity
form and send this via email to observers@secamb.nhs.uk
Please also enclose
- Copy of your passport or photo driving licence
- Copy of your current staff/student ID card (if applicable)
- Copy of both pages of your DBS certificate dated within the
last 3 years
- Supporting email from your line manager/tutor. (if
applicable)
Note: If you are a member of SECAMB staff or an
active member of SECAMB Community First Responder you only
need to complete and return the indemnity form.
Our HR team will then receive your details and be able to
process the assurance checks that we must carry out prior to any
application progressing to the next stage.
Step 2
Once your checks have been completed HR will
confirm your clearances to our L&D department.
A member of the L&D team will then contact
you to complete an online learning course.
Should you have any difficulties with step 1 or 2, please email
our HR Contact: observers@secamb.nhs.uk

Once you have undertaken your training arrangements will be made
to put you in contact with the relevant Operational Dispatch Area
(ODA) Administrator to arrange a suitable shift.
Completion of this training will be recorded the Trust’s
training database. You will be issued with a certificate of
completion as evidence that you can also keep for your Continued
Professional Development (CPD) file, if appropriate. Please
remember that this certificate is valid for one year from the date
of issue.

L&D Contact: kerry.moody@secamb.nhs.uk
Please note that the training certificate
that will be issued upon completion of this course is valid for
twelve months from the date of issue. After this time has expired
should you wish to have another observational shift with a SECAmb
crew you will need to undergo the personnel checks and re-take this
Observer course.
