If you would like to join the NHS you should make an account on the official CMG Forums and then apply here. Once your application has been reviewed, you will receive a response informing you whether you have been either accepted or denied. If you have been accepted, you will be invited to Training on TeamSpeak, where we will ask you various questions and teach you techniques and what to do as NHS in order to determine your understanding of the rules and the way we operate as a faction.

The NHS has many different ways in which you can become more involved within the community. You are able to be promoted to a higher rank within the NHS to unlock perks such as a higher pay check. You can also progress into a command position and become familiar with other members of the community which will help you if you chose to apply for other factions.

As a member of the NHS, you can be trained to engage in a variety of different scenarios such as responding to 111 calls where patients are in critical condition, supporting the Met Police at high-stakes negotiation scenes and even getting involved in larger community events that involve multiple factions. If being a first response medic doesn't seem like a long-term career for you don't worry, You can have training to go to Emergency Panic calls or Fly Helicopter to go to calls of high altitude and are to far away for basic medics.

In NHS we have some different types of training for anyone paramedic +.Panic training and Advanced Medical Training are the most important ones, when these are completed you will feel more free playing NHS,  completing panic training also means being able to go around with the MET PD and becoming Advanced Medical Trained means being able to use morphine and the medical database.
- Note: Advanced Medical Training is available at Junior Doctor +, Panic Training is available at Critical Care Paramedic +, Other trainings are available at Paramedic +.

High Command is one of three levels of command within the NHS. The other two levels are Tactical Command and Low Command.

They are responsible for the general direction of the NHS. They are also responsible for bringing in new ideas that may come from suggestions, deciding promotions of deserving members, dealing with reports and punishments, meetings and overall making sure the NHS can succeed. They are the final line of call if a member of Tactical Command was unable to sort your issue.

The Tactical Command team in NHS is in charge of making sure Low Command are being responsible and carrying out their low command duties. Members of Tactical Command are ranked as "Consultant" in the NHS Discord and can be contacted for any issues if Low Command cant help you. 

Low Command members are there to deal with minor issues and are the first step in the command structure for asking general questions.  The rank of Low Command is Specialist.

Medical custody is where a member of the NHS mandates that a player who has just been revived comes with them to the hospital. Anyone who is revived is in medical custody by default and must follow the instructions of the responsible NHS member until they are released from medical custody.

Combat reviving is the action of reviving a player during an active combat situation. You may only revive someone after the scene is clear, or after there has been no gunfire for 5 minutes, or if the entire opposing force is eliminated -- you are responsible for ensuring that the entire opposing force truly is eliminated.

Anyone who takes you hostage must have a valid reason for the initiation, You must comply with their demands. (eg. you have combat revived/revived an enemy/revived someone they had told you not to)(Don't break character and don't FTVL).

NHS cannot be killed unless they are being taken hostage and refuse to value their life when this is being done.

For example, if you have been taken hostage and you are being to revive someone whilst having a gun to your head, you must comply. If you fail to comply, this will be seen as failure to value life which is a server rule break.  

You should follow the revive priority and revive the players in the following order:

NHS >>> LFB >>> POLICE >>> HMP >>> CIVILIAN

In addition to this, if the scene is an active combat scene, you should ask a police officer on scene before reviving anyone. This is as they may potentially be a suspect in an investigation.

Whilst clocked on as NHS you are allowed to go grab a drink or do other things IRL for a maximum of 5 minutes. If you know the activity you are going off to do is likely to take more than 5 minutes, you are required to clock off or disconnect from the server.

 If you fail to this it may be seen as whitelist abuse and you will receive a suitable punishment for this.

You can report a member of the NHS for violating the NHS rules or procedures via the #nhs-complaints channel in the official CMG NHS Discord. When opening a report please ensure you provide a description of what the member did wrong as well as key information such as their Name or perm ID if you have it. You must include evidence of what happened or else we cannot deal with the report.

You should never carry weapons on NHS or show violence If someone is trying to kill you however you may attempt to run if there is no direct threat to your life and make a /999 call to inform the Met Police.

When you are part of the NHS you do have a minimum hours requirement every week you need to be considered as an active member of the faction. You need to have at least 2 Hours every week to be considered active and have a better chance at receiving a promotion.

As a trainee paramedic you must use the Mercedes Sprinter Box. When you reach the rank paramedic you may use all the NHS vehicles apart from the HEMS Vehicles, Skoda Kodiaq, NHS Motorbike, Mitsubishi EVO and VW Tiguan as these are reserved for specific ranks which can be found using the /car rules view command in the NHS discord.
