3 Years ago today, a slightly naive and very baby faced (more-so than now) 18 yr old Josh started with the ambulance service! Amazing to see how much has changed in that time, including slightly more common sense and slightly more competence! See how many more years we can get!

Another day spent with some really great @stjohnambulance people learning all about our Asset Management System @_pro_cloud to see how we manage our assets and medicines. Thanks to the @SJA_Logistics team for delivering another brilliant session

“A candle doesn’t loose any power when it lights another candle” Too often people are protective over their knowledge and skills, believing that this offers them an advantage over others. Whereas true power is found in sharing and developing others, allowing them to grow

The views & sunsets on IOW never cease to amaze me… 3 days done on @IOWNHS with @04worsfoldd - double para is a rare treat since qualifying! Now to relax for 2 weeks in the Caribbean!

@nqpcharlie If they’re comfortable going in the back then great! We have cameras & an intercom here which I find useful… I usually give some red flags to look for & let me know if they happen or anything changes!

@nqpcharlie I find it easier having been an ECA previously - but making sure they know what they’re comfortable with & boundaries (I.E. don’t start any new treatment without discussion 1st). If they’re new, ease them in gradually - let them watch you attend, build up to obs, history taking…

As a still relatively new newly qualified paramedic, I’ve realised I have literally no idea what i’m supposed to expect from my ECA or what they should expect from me as their crewmate

Earlier this morning Janey passed away in her sleep. Her family were with her. The love and support from all her friends and fans during this cancer journey brought her enormous joy. It has also been a huge comfort to us, her family and close friends, thank you.

@geeky_gillon @NatashaMDay @NJL_Blancq @Reb_eccai @ReevePara I signed up for an NHS service finder account with a trust email… got an email from the MIDOS team saying something along the lines of “we have midos, don’t use service finder”… not sure why the trust doesn’t want us using it if MIDOS isn’t appropriately updated/used!

Paramedics and other pre-hospital HCP’s (looking at you PHEN’s 👀) How often do you call/refer Pt’s into specialist units directly rather than conveying to ED? (SDEC’s, AU’s, wards and the like)

Would be rather handy to see a graded prealert system - such as Red and Amber calls to negating courtesy calls and pre-alert fatigue. RED: Needs seeing immediately I.e. Cardiac arrest, Resp arrest, Seizure, CVA in window etc… AMBER: Everything else not particularly needing resus

👏pre-alerts👏are👏for👏a👏reason👏 I’ve seen a huge increase recently of tutting followed by “go to RAT/AHO” then on them seeing the patient or handing over, “why aren’t you in Resus?”, or varying opinions between trusts leading to conflict (classically NEWS7 getting prealert)

I really shouldn’t be afraid of being judged by received ED staff when I bring in an unwell paediatric patient but yet here I am, frequently feeling nervous and ashamed for being “over”-cautious. I’m on my own in the back with a poorly kid & worried parent & doing my best. 😭

@geeky_gillon @NJL_Blancq @MuffinAnderson Completely appreciate that - I’ve heard some horror stories of people fighting for placement hours etc… I’m in a very very lucky position with my station being a small satellite (we get left alone), a permanent crewmate who is brilliant and supportive management

@Josh_R137 @NJL_Blancq @MuffinAnderson My apprentice para course (about 5yrs ago) was very different. We had to fight to get enough placement hours, mentors were in short supply & you were lucky to have any stability. Priority was bums on seats, especially once you were badged as an EMT

Following on from a recent poll with a slightly different angle. Paramedics, students and ambulance peeps - what is the best full time, pre-reg education pathway for paramedic training?

@NJL_Blancq @MuffinAnderson I do appreciate though, I’m in a very privileged position - in a well staffed area where we rarely have to be split… and have an awesome mentor who takes every single opportunity he can to mentor me and allow me to develop as a clinician… I know this isn’t the case for all!

@NJL_Blancq @MuffinAnderson Whilst I can see where you’re coming from, I’d argue against this. As an apprentice paramedic, 90% of my shifts are with my mentor. The other 10% is with AEMT/ECA, allowing me to cement decision making skills and build confidence - so it’s not completely meaningless :)

@NJL_Blancq @MuffinAnderson So I did ECA and am currently a tech… having a mentor when I was an apprentice tech and then as an EMT, I didn’t have a formal mentor - but my crewmate is now my mentor if that makes sense 😂
