Abstract
This shift started like every other and after a couple of jobs, we were on our way to hospital for a category 2 interfacility transfer. However, no less than a mile away from our last job, the stand down alert came through as we were changed to a category 1. The sat nav re-routed to the new location as my crew mate read out the words no one wants to hear: 'Katy, it’s a paediatric arrest'. What went through my mind at that moment is not for the printed page, but a gamut of emotions was flowing. Multiple alerts were pinging through, and control was radioing us.
