Paramedic accused of failing to give teen life support stopped CPR minutes after arriving, tribunal hears

A paramedic accused of failing to provide a teenager with life support told police officers to stop performing CPR just minutes after arriving, a tribunal has heard.

Quinn Evie Milburn-Beadle was found hanged in Shildon, County Durham, on December 9, 2018. Operational paramedic Gavin Wood, from the North East Ambulance Service (NEAS), travelled to the scene in a rapid response vehicle.

When he arrived, two police officers were already providing the 17-year-old with CPR. By the time a community paramedic and a respondent crew arrived, Mr Wood had made the decision to stop CPR and declared her deceased.
