Here is a simple guide that will help us to help you.

Before you phone, write down the location of the emergency and the telephone number that you are calling from. This may sound obvious, but in a crisis it's the simple things that are forgotten.

The first person you speak to will be the NEA Company operator who will ask:

"WHICH SERVICE DO YOU REQUIRE?"

Ask for the Ambulance Service, the operator may ask you what city or town you are in.

The operator will then will ask you the following questions:

"YOUR PHONE NUMBER", "PLEASE REPEAT"

"WHERE EXACTLY, DO YOU WANT THE AMBULANCE TO GO TO?"

"WHAT'S THE PROBLEM THERE?"

STAY ON THE LINE - THE AMBULANCE IS BEING DISPATCHED AS YOU SPEAK.

You will be asked some details about the condition of the patient or patients and the nature of the emergency. This information will be sent to the crew while they are traveling to you.

THE AMBULANCE CONTROLLER MAY OFFER YOU ADVICE THAT WILL ALLOW YOU TO HELP THE PATIENT WHILE THE AMBULANCE IS ON ROUTE TO YOU.

DO NOT HANG UP UNTIL YOU ARE TOLD TO DO SO BY THE AMBULANCE CONTROLLER.

TRY TO STAY CALM

Here are some other tips that can help:

Keep a look out for the ambulance. The address may not be as obvious to the Emergency Medical Technicians as you may think.
If possible, get someone to meet the ambulance and show them where the emergency is.
If it is dark, leave a light on. This will help make your house more obvious at night.
And finally, remember, before we can help you we have to find you. Make sure we can read your house name or number from the road or street - day or night.
