Releasing emergency crews

My daughter-in-law has a shoulder which dislocates from time to time. Because of having a baby, then covid, she has not had the surgery she needs. On Wednesday night it dislocated and would not go back in. She was in lots of pain. 111 advised her it would be 338minutes for a call back. Again she tried to self manage but with no success. On calling 999 she was advised it could be 10hour wait for an ambulance. She was able to mobilise this time, so I decided to take her to A&E. Remarkably, the shoulder popped back in enroute to the hospital! On reflection she didn't need an emergency vehicle and she didn't need A&E. A first responder vehicle with gas and air may have been able to resite the shoulder at home and then I could have taken her to a walk in xray clinic or by appointment. I'm sure there are some simple ways we could free up services and help relieve some of the pressures.
