Previously as a member of the LS NHS/FS you were required to reach 10 Hours over 60 days, as of 7th October 2024 the policy regarding this is changing to 5 Hours for the previous 30 days. We perform activity checks on the first Sunday of each month, if for any reason you don't believe you will be able to get your 5 hours as required reach out and contact a member of command so we are aware and don't have to remove you if there is a valid reason to the inactivity.

Anyone who fails to reach the required hours when an activity check is performed will likely be set to the Inactive status within the NHS resulting in your whitelisting being removed and if you wish to come back to active duty you will have to go through the Re-joining policy.

There is no set time in which you will be an AAP, the promotion guidelines state an average of 2 weeks of active service. This is to give you enough time to get used to the basics of the LS NHS and also allows for 2 Feedback Patrols to be conducted on yourself by a member of Training & Recruitment. If both feedbacks are positive and they recommend you for promotion you will be booked in for an aptitude assessment with T&R which if successful Command will be alerted and make the final decision on your promotion.

Once you have been at your rank for at least 1 week, someone from Training & Recruitment should reach out to organise a Feedback patrol. If no one reaches out, feel free to ask in #nhs-members if anyone can organise a feedback patrol. Similar to the initial training phase, you will have to have a certain amount of positive feedbacks before you can do the aptitude assessment, all based on the promotion guidelines for your rank.

More information regarding the promotion guidelines can be found here. You can always reach out to any member of T&R or NHS Command if you have any questions.

From AAP to A.PAR we have a list of Promotion Guidelines that are followed by Training & Recruitment of what is required & expected from members before they are promoted to their next position. For the full list of guidelines, please look at the following external document

Once you have reached the rank of Paramedic you will be given access to retrieve the Scorchers from the garage. We do have a few small rules & regulations that apply when you are wanting to go out on patrol with the bicycles.

• Minimum of 1 response unit in a vehicle such as an Ambulance (If they go off duty you will be expected to switch back to a normal patrol)

• Callsign of CR-X (If as a group of multiple people attending the same calls stick to the same callsign although try and keep it reasonable, If multiple calls are coming in spilt up etc )

• In the case of a major incident / mass causality switch to an appropriate vehicle / unit (Ambulance, Critical Care, HART etc)

• Appropriate uniform (You are still expected to be clearly identifiable as NHS, wearing the likes of shorts instead of the patrol trousers for example is fine. Use common sense )

• Command may allow  for someone to go on a CR Patrol even if they requirements aren't met although this will be on a case-by-case basis and can also be retracted if needed.

If you haven't received any whitelisting for a training you had completed or a promotion you was told you was receiving reach out to the trainer who had dealt with the situation and they will ensure that its passed to Command to sort out.

You can do this by messaging a member of NHS Command although to ensure it isn't lost we'd advise that you fill in the recommendation form

You can always fill in the Complaint Form and we would always advise that you add a way that we are able to contact you and as much relevant evidence to the complaint as possible.

Depending on the severity and context of the complaint will depend on who deals with it, following the chain of command

NHS Director → Staff Leads or Management
CFO/CMO → DIR
General NHS → CMO+
Specialist Response → Spec Res Lead, CMO+
Care Units → Care Unit Lead, CMO+
Training & Recruitment → T&R Lead, CMO+
Fire → SO+

There could be a number of reasons your whitelisting was removed. If you are unsure why, reach out to a member of NHS Command, and they should be able to explain. If you were removed for inactivity, this would be for not meeting the activity requirements whenever an activity check was performed

If you got removed for something else, IE disciplinary action, you'll either have to make a new character or do a blacklist appeal with the command team. If you're unsure, feel free to check up with any CMO+ what the reason for your removal is.

If you were removed for Inactivity or voluntarily left either the NHS/Fire Service please reach out to a member of Command with your Character Name & ID. Once a DBS Check has been performed if it comes back clean you will have to have a refresher patrol with a member of Training & Recruitment before you're allowed to patrol again and then must also wait at least 1 week before joining any units and will be set to the rank of Paramedic unless you left as an AAP then you will return at that rank and similar for Fire Service you will return as a Firefighter unless you was a FFD you will return at that rank.

No, we are not inactive, but we cannot have medics on 24/7 as the role is really demanding. Our medics have to deal with people being verbally abusive over a game and are often targeted by trolls. Besides this, we have very limited medics that can be patrolling. If the server is full and we have 2 medics on duty, that means we have 1 medic for each 175 players. Sometimes people decide to die every 5 minutes causing a medic to be stuck going back and forth causing an even longer response time. If you wish to help out, join the NHS

We have no say in what G6 does, if you have a complaint, please forward it to G6 Command. We only have a security contract for protection in the hospital. If you are a member of the LS NHS/FS and have a way in which Gruppe 6 have conducted themselves please inform a member of Command with any evidence you may have.
