Ambulance Vehicle Preparation
Ambulance Vehicle Preparation (AVP) is where a dedicated team prepares vehicles ready for our clinicians when they arrive at work to start their shift.
The service is operated by teams covering 24-hours a day/seven days a week to ensure that ambulance crews are able to access fully equipped, re-fuelled and re-stocked ambulances. This includes checking medical devices and medical consumables.
The highly trained specialist team members go through an intensive training programme before they start with AVP. This covers cleaning and testing medical equipment and devices, infection prevention and control, health and safety and clinical consumables.
