What additional insurance does your Trust advise you to have?
East Mids Ambulance Service advise us to just inform our insurance companies but don't tell us to mention volunteering.
Do you take out any extra insurance for the equipment?
Does your insurance company charge you extra because you are carrying gas?

Each individual for our group has to inform their insurance company that they First Respond for the Ambulance Trust. They are also advised to take out business cover... however, this does raise the premium a fair bit!
I did insure my own kit which cost over £500!! I don't now though!!
I haven't had my premium put up due to med gas cariage either which is always good! ;D

you must advise your insurance company that you are using your veh for responding, you must advise though that you are not blue lighting when responding. and also advise if your mileage is going to be more than you have already noted. you must also advise you are acrrying oxygen and have the green triangle on the back of the veh to advise so as well. if you dont advise them then your car insurance is invalid. they dont cover liability when you are attending a call, this is covered by the NHS trust you are volunteering for, but will not cover you if you are beraking the law whilst you are driving, speeding etc... also insurance companies should not charge more for using you vehicle for voluntary work, there was a government directive to stop them doing this as they are trying to encourage people to do voluntary work. Business insurance is not relevant for a voluntary job, it is an unescessary expense not required. 4 years of working in an insurance company has its uses

I advised my insurance company and sent a letter given to me by South West Ambulance Service which explained the scheme. A letter soon came back to me telling me they would cover me no problem and at no extra charge

We have not been given any specific guidance on this topic, the advise is that it is up to the individual responder whether they inform their insurance company. We are waiting for an official handbook to be agreed, this will have a standard letter that is sent to insurance companies when the volunteer joins - far too loose an arrangement at the moment.

Hi I've just started my tarining with SCAS. They require a letter from my insurance company stating that they are OK with me doing CFR duties. I must say that SCAS send a very good letter to be presented to insurance companies that states the do's and Don'ts of what we do. No light/soirens fitted and adhere to Highway Regulations at all times.

Hi I had slight issue with insurance as use a company car. But got it resolved by talking to them directly and explaining what we do.
Basically no B&T's and adhering to all highway regulations.
If you still have problem speak to your CFR Liason Officer, I'm sure they'de help in this issue.

Do you take out any extra insurance for the equipment? Does your insurance company charge you extra because you are carrying gas? I have been a responder for nearly 4 years now, when I started I phoned my insurance company and told them I was going to be a responder and they said fine no problem....till i told them i would be carrying O2....they then said they would only insure me if the bottle was attached to the car...impossible....so I rang round and only 1 insurance co had no problem....I was MORE THAN happy with this company, they also send me a letter every year when the insurance runs out to say this is still fine.

Fiz para ver se ia dar certo e deu, assim que acabei meu amor ligou. A pessoa que eu copiei também não acreditava mas para ela também funcionou! AGORA VEREMOS… Diga para você mesmo o nome do único rapaz ou moça com quem você gostaria de estar (três vezes)… Pense em algo que queira realizar na próxima semana e repita para você mesmo (seis vezes). Se você tem um desejo, repita-o para você mesmo (Venha cá ANJO DE LUZ eu te INVOCO para que Desenterre ej de onde estiver ou com quem estiver e faça ele ME telefonar ainda hoje, Apaixonado e Arrependido, desenterre tudo que esta impedindo que ej venha para MIM , afaste todas aquelas que tem contribuído para o nosso afastamento e que ele ej não pense mais nas outras… mas somente em MIM. Que ele ME telefone e ME AME. Agradeço por este seu misterioso poder que sempre dá certo. Amém…). Publique esta simpatia por três vezes , basta copiar e colar por três vezes em in forum diferente esta simpatia abaixo e logo em 48hs você terá uma linda surpresa, beijos Ainda esta noite de madrugada o TEU amor dará conta de que TE ama, algo assim acontecerá entre 1 e 4 horas da manhã esteja preparada para o maior choque de sua vida! Se romper esta corrente terá má sorte no amor. Deus vai lhe abençoárá e sua vida não será mais a mesma
