[edit] Pages I Created

Emergency medical services in the United Kingdom - UK specific ambulance site, involved closing other pages such as "List of UK Ambulance Services" for comprehensive encyclopaedic page
Former UK Ambulance Services - Addresses changes created by ambulance service restructure
Advanced Medical Priority Dispatch System - The system used in the UK and elsewhere to decide clinical priority for the dispatch of ambulances
Operational Research CONsultancy - The targeting system used to measure the performance of UK ambulance trusts
Lustleigh - A Devon village close to my heart - where I got married!
Emergency medical services in the United States - Created as a split of Ambulance
Emergency medical services in Germany - Created as a split of Ambulance
Emergency medical services in Austria - Created as a split of Ambulance

[edit] Pages I made major contribution to

Ambulance - Made major edits to this (about 80% of the article written or re-written), in order to make it in to an excellent resource article. Included splitting out country specific information
Emergency Medical Services - Tough challenge involving an almost total rewrite of a US focused article to reflect a global view
Emergency vehicle equipment - Rearranged the structure to try and make this not only glboal, but add a technical edge
First aid - Quite a stubby article, so added lots of info and Wikilinks
Police car - Was a dreadful article, all split by country twice! Wrote significant amount of text to bring global and generic perspective
AVPU - Added detail to this, making it no longer a stub (IMHO)
Emergency service - This was a very patchy article containing a list added to randomly, and some sub sections which weren't strictly relevant here. Now structured in to core, secondary and civil emergency services
British Red Cross - Added entire history section. Started new sections for all the main UK activities
