Consulting before a suspension
Page updated: 7 March 2022
If you are the Incident Controller, you need to consult medical experts before suspending a SAR operation.
Consult medical experts
These experts can:
- offer advice about how the subject is likely to respond to their situation based on their medical and psychological condition
- prepare a report that analyses whether or not the subject is likely to be alive, and at what point their survival is unlikely.
Add this information to the profile of the subject.
Consult other experts
During the operation, you may have gathered more information about the subject by consulting with other experts. If you are considering a suspension, you should contact the experts you have consulted to:
- let them know you are considering a suspension
- ask them for further advice in their area of expertise.
