Discipline is very important for anyone who is part of the Uniformed Public Services. Discipline is put in place to maintain order and to make sure that everyone works to the best of their abilities. All the services are organised in a similar way with a clear rank structure and clearly defined roles and responsibilities, which all rely on discipline to work effectively.
One of the services that need to be disciplined is the Paramedic's service they need to be well disciplined because they have important roles where they need to be saving peoples lives. The Paramedics also work with other services such as the police and fire service which all play important roles. One of the most important factors with being a Paramedic is time keeping, they should make sure that they are always on time and do not miss any important briefs as this will keep everyone updated on what is going to be happening on that specific day and exactly what is expected from the Paramedics. Some employees that work within the Paramedic service are the directors of operations who work with the machines and equipment making sure that they run properly. These workers are higher up than the regular Paramedics so they need to have a higher level of discipline; they need to understand exactly what needs to be done.
Another service is the police service, it is very important to have discipline in the police service such as following orders correctly, being on time and punctual etc. Without having discipline things will start to fall apart, orders will not be followed correctly and it will create an impact on yourself and others. Some positions and roles in the police may be different, like the armed forces
