{{National Health Service Info}}
The Malden '''National Health Service''' ('''NHS''') was established on Altis on the 14th of February, 2014 and is currently one of the most vital services operating within Malden after having moved to the island. The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of interaction. Each member provides a comprehensive '''range of health services, free and at unlimited use''' for the citizens of Malden. The '''NHS''' is made up of hundreds of well trained, high quality, and friendly Medics who work day and night to ensure those that need medical care receive it. Working long hours on fairly low wages, the '''[[National Health Service|NHS]]''' are still some of the happiest workers on the Island of Malden, knowing that they are in a safe and secure job environment, where they cannot be harmed, and are warmly welcomed by others no matter what situation they arrive at. The NHS will provide some of the '''best times you can get within the community'''.

====[[NHS Ranks|Standard Ranking Structure]]====
Full details about the ranks can be found by clicking on them below
*'''Student (STU):''' Identified by having 'STU' printed on the epaulette. Student is the first Rank on your NHS career, you can achieve this by going through the [[National Health Service#Recruitment Process|NHS Recruitment Process]]. As a Student, you are unable to patrol on your own until you reach the rank of First Aider. You get access to the [[Hatchback]] or the [[Van|Van (Ambulance)]] to use as a patrol vehicle, though!
*'''First Aider (FA):''' Has 1 'Pip' on the epaulette. First Aider is the rank where Medics experience their first sense of freedom. All first aiders are divided into the x3 departments ran by the consultants, to help administrate promotions, feedback and disciplinaries. First Aiders can patrol on their own at any time without the need of another medic to patrol with and get access to the [[SUV]]. Many First Aiders choose to patrol alone as they enjoy the independence. At FA you can take the M900 test.
*'''Paramedic (PAR):''' The most common rank within the NHS. The epaulette as a Second 'Pip' above the one issued at the First Aider rank. Paramedics can join Air rescue or Road incident Responder (not both at the same time) and they can join the Application team and the Training Team but again not both. Paramedics also get access to the M900 and lead a Air rescue patrol by themselves.
*'''Surgeon (SUR)''': An epaulette full with 3 'pips'. Surgeons can join both [[NHS Air Rescue]] & [[NHS Road Incident Responder]] and can join [[NHS Application Team]] or [[NHS Training Department]]. Surgeons have to complete 2 hours a month to sustain their Rank as they get perks when there're off-duty. An off-duty Surgeon can use the defibrillator on patients once any on-duty medics are more than 1 KM (1 click) away.
*'''Doctor (DR)''': The Laurel wreath styled crown with no other additions symbolizes the Doctor rank. Doctors can also join both [[NHS Air Rescue]], [[NHS Road Incident Responder]] and can join [[NHS Application Team]] or [[NHS Training Department]]. Doctors also have to complete 2 hours a month to sustain their Rank as they get perks when there're off-duty. An off-duty doctor can use the defibrillator on patients once any on-duty medics are more than 1 KM (1 click) away and they also buy the defibrillators at a 50% discount from the hospital. Doctors in the Seniors department have no activity requirement. 
*'''Consultant (CST):''' The Laurel Wreath followed up with a Crown above it. Consultants are the back bone of the NHS handling all the administrative work, their job ensures the efficient running of all the Departments and branches. The CST`s achieve this by dividing the work load which is done by appointing Heads and Deputies, such roles are given out by the CMOs. Consultants deal with internal issues within the Faction. When a CST resigns they join the Seniors department where they will stay a doctor with no activity requirement to keep their rank.
*'''NHS Admin''': The Laurel Wreath followed up with a pip above it. The NHS Admins act as a support to the x3 CMO's in the strategic management side of the faction. They are staff members, normally level 4 or above. They are not involved in day to day management but instead help to bridge the gap between the faction leaders and the staff team; from dealing with rule changes and server wide NHS issues, to handing out the ingame NHS financial rewards. Chief Medical Officers have the final say on all matters in the NHS however the NHS Admins are often called upon for advice and guidance.
*'''Chief Medical Officer (CMO):''' A Pip above the Laurel Wreath with a Crown on top. The Chief Medical Officer`s job is to monitor the daily running of the National Health Service their involvement makes sure of a smooth operation. Chief Medical Officers have the final say on all matters in the NHS they also handle relations with the other factions. ([[Altis Police Service]], [[The Poseidon Cartel]]). When a CMO resigns they join the Seniors department where they will stay a doctor with no activity requirement to keep their rank.

=== <u>NHS Clothing</u> ===
The [[NHS Air Rescue|Air Rescue]] uniform is a Bright Red Overall worn by [[National Health Service|NHS]] members who are currently taking part in an Air Patrol and utilising the multitude of Helicopters available to the [[National Health Service|NHS]]. 

[[NHS Air Rescue|Air Rescue]] Tier 3 pilots have access to the technologically advanced 'Full NVG Helmet'. This allows the pilot to have a fullscreen night vision view rather than the standard restricted view. These are restricted items and are not distributed to those who don't have access, this includes Civilians. 

The [[NHS Road Incident Responder|Emergency Incident Responders]] proudly show off their Yellow Hi-Vis vests when on patrol. This allows other road users to clearly spot a Road side Incident and slow down before they too, are involved with the Road Traffic Collision. 

All members of the NHS gain access to the HAZMAT gear for responding to radioactive or other hazardous situations.
