Paige and a group of her school friends have been playing football after school to practice for an important game they have next week. It has been raining for the last 3 days and the grass is a bit soggy, but they decided to practice anyway. They are 30 minutes into practice when Matthew slips when tackling Emma for the ball and lands awkwardly. He is in pain and unable to stand back up and put any weight on his ankle. All his friends are concerned and know they need to phone an ambulance. What are the key points of information that the ambulance services need to ensure that Matthew gets the correct care and attention?

Where they are? How many people are hurt? Are they breathing? Are they unconscious?

Your Mission: Become an NHS Fact Finder

We would like you to be an NHS fact finder responsible for gathering all the important details (data points) related to Matthew’s accident. Your job is to collect this information to provide a story that can help the NHS provide the best possible care for Matthew.

Building the Story – what information could be Key Data Points

To create a clear story from Matthew’s accident, we will give you a series of questions to help you start your fact-finding journey and then we would like you to think of more questions that could help the NHS form data points to ensure Matthew receives the correct care.
