That could depend on the level of service user contact that admin staff would have.

For example, if someone came into reception and said "Excuse, me.. I've just taken an overdose"

I worked in back office for a massive organisation so that would never have happened to me. Unless one of the staff had a really bad day .....

I take your point though - plus I got full points for my answer to that question - it was the other 99 that let me down. :eek:

Of course reality is often different.

I remember doing a CPR course once and the tutor told us a story about when someone had collapsed and stopped breathing.. the first person to panic and disappear from the scene was the actual Doctor! And left it to the nurses and care assistants to deal with.
