I then managed a team of 42 specialist paramedics capable of working within a variety of hostile envirironments including CBRN, USAR, safe working at height, Swift water and support to Police and Military specialist units to deliver pre-hospital care.With overall responsibility for the Trusts CBRN capability, I was a member of several LRF sub-groups and quality assured the CBRN training programme of the Hospital Trusts across West Yorkshire.I was the operational representative on the group that developed the Dept of Health National Radiation Policy.With overall responsibility for the management of all assets and estate as well as the training and competency programme for the team my skill set has developed into a broad range in the past few years.The HART response is part of a National project the Yorkshire team has assets in excess of £4 million pounds and an annual budget of almost £ 3million per team. This is the extreme end of pre-hospital care capability and needs to be managed accordingly.
