4 years down the line I am an Emergency Medical Dispatcher, where communication and radio etiquette is hugely important. Dont let anything hold you back folks, if I can do it you all can 😁

Dispatch, speech and the power of showing up scared 🎧 Grateful to share my journey of working within NEOC with a speech impediment, the challenges, and how I overcame them. Bravery is speaking even when the words dont come easily. @TheIAED @iaednavigator @AmbulanceNAS

⚠️ Difficult weather conditions are affecting our response times in many areas ⚠️ Please avoid unnecessary travel, check your local weather updates at @MetEireann and only call 999 in an absolute emergency.

We are currently in our busiest time of the year with extremely high call volumes and significant delays in waiting times.🚑 Help us in this festive season by using 999/112 wisely and considering alternative care options when it's not a life-threatening emergency. @HSELive

Wishing NEOC Supervisor Tony Keane the very best in his retirement this week, after 42 years of service. Tony worked in several roles over his career in Ambulance Operations as well as Regional Ambulance Control and NEOC. Pictured with his NEOC and Operational colleagues.

Have never been more ashamed to be Irish. These are the men and women who responded to this tragedy earlier today. How is this helping anything?

I've been operating radios for years, I've spoken to land crews, air crews, and people from every corner of the country. I sat in a taxi in Kerry last night and can safely say I did not understand one word that was spoken over their radio 🤣🤣🤣

Was awarded my BJJ Blue Belt last night. My body is not thanking me this morning though! 😂

📢 We have positions open for Emergency Medical Controllers (Emergency Call Takers)! These are critical roles within our service that ensures clinically appropriate and timely pre-hospital patient care and intermediate care service. buff.ly/3zhh8s3 #jobfairy

Watford’s Ken Sema suffers with a stutter, but he bravely came out and did the post-match interview last night... ❤️ This will really help a lot of people. Anyone who suffers with a stammer knows how hard and deflating it can be. Brilliant @Semaken! 👏

Ringing in 2023 with the better half doing the Tom Brennan memorial new years day race. The movie Run Fatboy Run comes to mind!! Here's to 2023 😁🏃

@MikeFlynn90 @_DF42 I can still dream 🤣🤣🤣

@Elbows112 @_DF42 Abit generous with the hair 😛🤣🤣🤣

Have to say I geeked out a bit seeing myself brickified!! Thanks @_DF42, blocking people has a whole new meaning now!! 🤣

#NewProfilePic Picked up our new Rapid Response Vehicle today. We may be biased, but we think it looks great! 🚑 @AmbulanceNAS @DubFireBrigade @ed_tuh @GediTuh

@Lauraoc25 @JoeDaly41125546 @_PaulDolan @David_Menzies They're top tier!! 👌☕

Another day, another #NotCork coffee with @JoeDaly41125546 Cheers to @Elbows112 for the recommendation, a solid 9/10 👌 Will have to pop #FlowerAndBean on the must return list @_PaulDolan @David_Menzies

Today we launched the @Scotambservice Critical Care Desk (CCD). The CCD is staffed by Advanced Practitioners in Critical Care and Advanced Retrieval Practitioners from @EMRSscotland, West ScotSTAR and dedicated ambulance control centre coordinators.

@MoHamza89 Who knew legally strangling people was a great stress reliever! 🤣🥋

Been noticing a lot of EM people (and Keanu Reeves) are very into BJJ. Is BJJ our thing? Is it like surgeons and golf?

@kevgill3 Thanks very much Kevin that means alot 😄

With it being International Stuttering Awareness day and a proud stutterer one piece of advice I'd give anyone is - don't hide your stutter, you are worthy of speaking as much as anybody else! Be seen and be heard, you have nothing to be ashamed about 💚 #ISAD2022

@RobQuirke16 I'm a Contigo man myself but I'll have to give it a go!

Let me hear your go to coffee options while on the job! Do you use instant Kenco like some sick caffeine deprived neanderthal? Are you the petrol station grab and go type? Or are you among the elite like myself 🤣☕

@benmalone31 I have the Sage Bambino Plus and grinder at home!! Makes a savage coffee. Need to get a lesson or two on latte art though! 😂

@Elbows112 Set myself up for the day with my Sage Barista Express - absolutely perfect 👌🏻
