I work for South East Coast Ambulance Service and I am currently doing research into different services Trauma Risk Incident Management programmes and the different trends and behaviour patterns that are seen. I am particularly interested in a trend we have that shows an increase in staff accessing trim between the months of July - August. I am interested to see if your service follows this trend and if so, why this could be? Or if you have another other noticeable patterns or behaviours.
- Response
The Scottish Ambulance Service sees a monthly average TRiM referrals between 20-25. The typical trend is higher is summer and winter months and lower volumes in the intervening periods.
In 2025 there were two incidents during summer that triggered higher TRiM referrals; details of these incidents are exempt under section 38(1)(b) as it can lead to the identification of individuals or incidents.
