Joint Emergency Service Interoperability Programme (JESIP)

Working together with emergency service colleagues to help save lives.

Share this page
Police, Fire and Ambulance staff talking

Much work goes into planning for mass gathering events at fixed sporting or entertainment venues but also those which occur in town centres or other open venues. This planning activity can occur just from our own perspective but often involves cooperation with other organisation.

A great deal of emphasis is placed on education and training by the Resilience Team and in addition to ensuring that the team itself is sufficiently well trained to conduct its complex and diverse role, this includes the training of our ambulance commanders and operational staff too. Regular training includes that mandated through the JESIP, which is enacted in partnership with colleagues from police, fire and rescue and other responding agencies under the banner of ‘Working together – Saving lives – Reducing harm’.

This joint working promotes wider understanding of the roles of each agency, a greater awareness of shared risks and a systematic approach to the effective and above all, joint management of incidents.
