After your first MTO+ patrol, you may patrol with any '''First Aider (FA) or above'''. If no higher ranked medics are online on '''any server''', you may patrol alone provided you have completed your initial first patrol.

After your first MTO+ patrol, you must only patrol with a Paramedic '''(PAR) or above.'''

You cannot patrol with First Aiders '''(FA)''' or alone at any time.

All members of the NHS are expected to act professionally, respectfully and provide a high quality of roleplay at all times as well as following some basic rules stated here:

* Medics '''cannot charge a fee''' for treatments. Do not steal anything from any person even if dead, this includes money and other items.

* You may '''not sell NHS equipment''' or give it away freely.

All server rules must be followed while on duty (e.g metagaming, powergaming etc).  

* (11.5) You must not abuse your role as an NHS member to assist your friends in any way.

In situations you must revive people in a set order, this is described below:

'''The revive priority is situational only''', it doesn’t mean that you prioritize police across the other side of the map to civilians whom are closer, however you must revive downed medics as quick as possible!

* You must be in a patrol channel (patrol 1-6) whilst on duty.

* You must ensure that your teamspeak name is your '''NHS Medic name''' whilst on duty.

* Use of Whispers in not mandatory however can greatly improve communications, efficiency and lead to an improved experience.

* RIR specific vehicles can '''only''' be driven by a RIR Member.

* High visibility vests are '''only''' to be used by RIR members when on RIR patrols.

* The red Pilot Uniform can '''only''' be used by members who are actively taking part in an air patrol.

* '''All pilots''' must abide by NHS Air Rescue rules.

DNRs or “Do Not Revive” orders are a '''last resort''' for NHS medics. They are '''only''' to be used if a player is either declared dead or should not be revived for '''a valid reason'''.A DNR does not mean another medic can’t help them, it’s up to the medics discretion at that time to accept the DNR or not. DNR’s can only be placed on a player. You can not DNR a faction, gang or area. However, if there is an ongoing gunfight and you notice it please mark the gunfight location with a time and '''GUNFIGHT'''.

DNR - <GMT Real Time><patient name> -<Medic Name> - <Reason>          ''Example:''  '''DNR - 20:32 Dave - Singh - VDM'''

As a whitelisted medic you now have access to the Police/NHS chat. This is a '''text only''' in-game chat that both Police and NHS sides can read.  All '''communication must remain within roleplay''' when using this chat. Use this chat to coordinate your movements with Police as and when needed.

'''NHS to POL - Is it clear for us to enter the Stadium Fuel area? Over.'''

Remember, if police do not respond, repeat the question, use common sense, use your eyes and ears (remove earplugs) and move in cautiously only after at least '''5 minutes''' have passed with no response from Police. If Police are not able to give an informed reason and the incident is taking place in Poseidon lands then please use the Poseidon dispatch to help you make the decision on if it is safe for you to enter.

If you break any internal rules, a Medical Training Officer (MTO) or higher may issue one or more infraction points. These go on your '''permanent record''', and if you obtain too many, you may be removed from the NHS.  Depending on the severity of the incident, you could be blacklisted immediately.

If something is not mentioned in this handbook, use '''common sense'''!  If you think your actions are questionable, don’t do it.  If you are unsure, refer to someone senior.
