Virtual Control Implementation   (10/07/2008)

Yorkshire Ambulance Service is the first Ambulance Trust in the country to use the Alert C3 Command and Control System to provide a ‘Virtual Control Centre’. YAS have recently rationalised their control facilities from 3 to 2, with the relocation of the old Rotherham (South Yorkshire) control operation to Wakefield in West Yorkshire. The two control centre model provides an excellent degree of both local resilience and off-site disaster recovery.

“It was seen from the outset that major operational benefits were to be gained by using a single database for the Trusts Command and Control system, and a lot of effort was made to make this possible, our partnership with MIS as our system supplier has helped to make this a reality” said David Johnson, Assistant Director of ICT.

The Alert C3 system currently has a total of 30 local and 20 remote users, however Yorkshire’s plan is that the system will ultimately have capacity for up to 130 concurrent users with around 50% of these being remote users on the Wide Area Network.
