Great new paper from @CumminsNM & colleagues🏥 highlighting that expecting patients to self-assess illness severity related to ED attendances may not be reasonable as even healthcare providers do not consistently agree on appropriateness of presentations. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Great day yesterday of paramedicine research in Limerick. Brilliant talks on building research capacity by @CumminsNM, point of care bloods testing by @GaryGar10114613 and CPR induced consciousness by @NKCmedical. Delighted to add a talk on posterior stroke recognition.

Absolute last chance to submit your abstract for this cutting edge research conference on 8th and 9th July 2025. Get your research out there. Submit your abstract here: app.oxfordabstracts.com/stages/77724/s… Closes tonight so there is still time! @ParamedicsUK @IPERN999

Paramedics and those in the emergency services are adaptable, multiskilled and crucially, know how to work under pressure. Proudly becoming Patron of @ParamedicsUK. It’s been a privilege to spend time today with first responders whose work saves lives day in, day out.
