I cannot even believe that I am saying this.... but I am almost SOLD OUT of my first book order! I am so grateful ❤️ If you are keen for a copy, please pre-order (via onelittleheart.com.au ). Books arriving in Sept. Half way to an AED being donated! ❤️

@rachelirvinephd Wow, thank you so so much for your kind words - I definitely hope some good things will come out of this!

So excited to get this book! Such a unique way to make the ambulance less scary for children. I believe this will help to improve paediatric outcomes.

@aucklandir @paradub @GregPage_Yellow Thank you! NZ/111 version coming soon! 😁

@AmesCraike @paradub @GregPage_Yellow Nice work

Excited to announce the pre-order of my kid’s book about #Paramedics. - Educational, incl practice 000 audio; - Linked book reading with @GregPage_Yellow and Auslan component; - Raising money for Heart of the Nation; - AED/CPR awareness. onelittleheart.com.au

@MedicMatt17512 @GregPage_Yellow Thank you Matt! I have already had interest from others in Canada and the US, so, I’m looking at doing a version with 911. Alternatively, I definitely can organise shipping to you for this version 😊

@AmesCraike @GregPage_Yellow I would love a couple of copies for my nephews. I don't suppose it would be possible to get them shipped to Canada for a semi-reasonable price?

@BrianHaskinsPhd @ryanparry01 Good to know - I’m working on increasing awareness of AEDs from a young age with a book about Paramedics 🚑

Hey #paramedic Twitter. Drop your thread handles below 👇🏻 Would love to tidy up my algorithm over on there 😅

@ryanparry01 @AmesCraike 👋

@Aidan_Baron @UnitedWorkersOz Thanks for explaining your stance 😊 In QLD we have a very supportive union with UWU who I strongly feel come to the table with positivity and work well with our service. Just don’t want all tarnished with the same brush.

@AmesCraike @UnitedWorkersOz Every time someone says "I wish XYZ ambulance service could do a trial of this..." I remember that the late Ian Jacobs got everyone to come to the table for an adrenaline in OHCA trial, and then the unions in NSW and VIC ruined it for everyone.

Todays words of wisdom Never underestimate the ability of a paramedic industrial union to get in the way of progress in Paramedicine

@Aidan_Baron @UnitedWorkersOz I thought that was due to Paramedics? Unions essentially do what their members want. Didn’t that study also fall over internationally. Sorry, just trying to understand as I think there is real power in unions. Not to mention the historical general benefits for all workers.

@AmesCraike @UnitedWorkersOz Specifically-paramedic unions have a history of pushing back against research (National Adrenaline in OHCA study being the biggest loss)

@TheLeeMcLaren Really sad that this needs to be said…

7. DONT BELITTLE / DEMORALISE Remember we are students, we are not perfect! Please don’t belittle us in front of pt, colleague or at all. It doesn’t help with confidence. Provide a learning environment where we feel supported and can nurture our development.

I asked 10 Students what their expectations were of their Practice Mentors on Clinical Placement. This is their Top 10! Do you agree? 🧵

@theamandaharley @alaanibrahim @PemCourses @sepsisAU @childhealthqld @SepsisAlliance @CENAorg Always a pleasure learning from you and watching you educate more Paramedics on sepsis in Paediatrics! Thank you!
