How to free up your busy Neurosurgeons? Liverpool HITS study- reduces unnecessary referrals. Due to be validated in another trauma network but promising results. @CJMcHarris @WaltonCentre #NMTS23 @TraumaCareUK

Today it has been reported that during our first round of action in England mortality rate was 11.1% above the 5 year average. What they haven’t reported was that in Wales, where no strike action took place, mortality rate was 14% above the 5 year average. 1/3

EXTRICATION.  This year's Aeromedical Conference will focus on a multiagency approach to the rescue, treatment and extrication of patients trapped in vehicles. #aeromed 📅 7 June 2023 📍 Ford Dunton Technical Centre Learn more & register at ehaat.org/aeromed

@heliboy999 @will_hordley @EHAAT_ Good luck with the future, was a pleasure to have had you as one of the incredible "front seat team" for my first experience of HEMS last year. Hope your next adventure is just as good as @EHAAT_

A proud day at #TraumaCare22 where the ‘Ten Second Triage’ tool has been officially launched Recommended as first line triage tool for all incidents /1

Would you know what to do if someone had a cardiac arrest? Join us at Lakeside this Sunday, where some of our pre-hospital care doctors, critical care paramedics and volunteers will be delivering free CPR and defibrillation training and demonstrations. Will we see you there? 👀

@oli_m_sims Or that every FY1 will have to have their training year extended by "strike length+sickness+other TOOT-20". That would cause bigger issues and knock on effects for years as it would delay F1+F2 completion and further... It's not a good look for the FS in question

@DevonAirAmb @UrgEmergUK @CritCarePU @timnutbeam @cmoss16 One of the best weekends of the @UrgEmergUK year, so glad to see it's back after a short pandemic-related hiatus!

This weekend we're hosting a series of pre-hospital sim challenges on Dartmoor, helping over 100 future clinicians to gain even more knowledge & experience to help save a life. Find out more: daatcl.co.uk/sim-war/ #DaaSimWar @UrgEmergUK @CritCarePU @timnutbeam @cmoss16

@gareth_grier @EHAAT_ @elwagyo @The_PCP @PHMBSc @PHMBSc_Alumni @QMULBartsTheLon I was lucky enough to be the first student back after the pandemic disrupted so much of medical school activity. So much to observe and learn both on shift and on base days/CGD. Incredible opportunity and added fuel to the fire for a career in PHEM

Great that @EHAAT_ offer med student electives. A fantastic opportunity for people like @elwagyo who have demonstrated so much commitment during @The_PCP @PHMBSc and @PHMBSc_Alumni @QMULBartsTheLon Let’s see what changes they’ll make when they take our jobs. #futureisbright

Rest in Peace your Majesty, thank you for your service to your country. You will be deeply, deeply missed Ma'am.

5 months into TETRIS - a UK audit of thoracotomy practice. Aims to answer vital questions around the who/what/why etc of thoracotomy. Rolling site enrolment, ongoing. Thanks to all those involved so far. @tucker_harriet @NaTRIC_Research @ternfellow @ResearchPHOTON @LisaRamage

It's great to be back at @EHAAT_ #Aeromed2022

Today we commemorated the life of Mark Pell – a popular Paramedic in the Motorcycle Response Unit who sadly died in April. A convoy of his colleagues rode alongside the funeral procession, escorting Mark and his loved ones during his final journey. ➡londonambulance.nhs.uk/2022/05/17/one…

@james_sayer1 Congratulations James! Great news, I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time setting you up for the next chapter in your career! 👍🏻

Potentially the most important email I've ever received. Many years of hard work has finally paid off. Excited is an understatement. The journey continues... #Doctor #MedicalSchool #Medicine #FirstGeneration

I’m finding it hard to stomach Dominic Raab defending @BorisJohnson & Downing St as a “cockpit for people working phenomenally hard under phenomenal strain.” Oh really? Try 13 hour shifts in full PPE. Try iPad farewells. Try terror & grief & trauma & horror. You have NO idea.

You NEED to read these 2 studies if you’re involved in prehospital care, in any capacity. Summary? Self-extrication is the fastest method of extrication and results in least spinal motion. Adding a collar does not change total spinal movement… #mythbusting #Paramedic #FOAMed
