Way out: Fire Safety in Scottish Hospitals

Synopsis
Challenges complacency with regard to fire safety in hospital environments by demonstrating the complexity and confusion associated with even a relatively small hospital fire. Uses dramatisations to introduce some of the main fire hazards in hospitals and identifies appropriate responses. Concludes that local discussion, preparation and practice are the keys to fire safety and stresses that there is always a safe way out, provided it can be found in time. Filmed at Borders General Hospital and Kelso Community Hospital.
