New Resuscitation Guidelines out today!

#FreeArticle. Study investigates the safety and efficacy of utilizing an intraosseous needle for decompressive management of subacute and chronic subdural hematomas. thejns.org/view/journals/…

A great conference. Also good to meet and network with colleagues from all over the UK.

Great clinical shift today with Mantas, MD of Stockholm Ambulance Service. Between calls, we had insightful discussions comparing our systems and finding ways to learn from one another. Thanks for joining me!

I am looking to recruit patients, carers and ambulance clinicians with experience of non-conveyance in the last year. Please get in touch if you are interested. Details in the advert. Please share my post. Thanks

At @Ldn_Ambulance Brentside Education Centre today delivering CPD sessions to our Clinical Tutors as part of their development week.

Clinical shift at @Ldn_Ambulance Croydon today. ✅ Vehicle Checks ✅ Equipment / Drug Checks 🤞 the weather is a bit cooler!

Summative Intubation Assessments all week as part of our Clinical Team Manager development. Assessments are undertaken following an education programme and theatre placements. So far 50 CTMs have successfully completed the course. Apt that the venue we used had this on the wall

Last chance to participate in this study which closes on Saturday 14 June. Thanks for all of the responses so far. If you are an #ambulance clinician working in the NHS in the UK, please take a few minutes to complete this online survey. @EPPiC_Warwick

#OriginalResearch “You said it! Now look what’s happened!” We’ve all been blamed for saying it. The shift was calm — then someone muttered the “Q word,” and chaos reigned. But is it actually true? Does saying “quiet” doom us to a flood of patients? 🧠 A new narrative systematic review in EMJ says... probably not. By @AndrewTabner @gdj043 Researchers analysed 8 RCTs across EDs, surgical specialties, microbiology labs, and even OMFS on-call shifts. The verdict? ❌ No solid evidence that uttering the word “quiet” increases admissions, bleeps, referrals, or calls. 💡 What it might do? Influence our perception of being busy — particularly for those who already believe in the superstition. It’s a classic case of confirmation bias and regression to the mean: if things are unusually calm, they’re bound to pick up again, whether we say “quiet” or not. 👏 Let’s give credit to the researchers — many of whom studied this in their own time, with no funding — for taking on one of medicine’s most persistent myths. So, go ahead. Say it. “It’s a quiet shift today.” And if it gets busy later... well, it was going to anyway. 😉 🔗 emj.bmj.com/content/early/… #MythBusting #EmergencyMedicine #QuietShift #MedicalSuperstition #WorkplaceCulture #HealthCareHumour #EvidenceBasedMedicine @RCollEM

The @Ldn_Ambulance Service 999 #Clinical Hub are the recipients of the Exceptional #Team Award. The team has worked tirelessly to reduce unnecessary #ambulance dispatches whilst simultaneously improving #patientcare. Just brilliant! #ALF2025

As a paramedic, I rarely get the chance to be taught and mentored by doctors and other AHPs. I am currently placed @RoyalFreeNHS with their anaesthetic teams in theatres, developing my airway management skills, allowing me to intubate for @Ldn_Ambulance. 1/2

Median time from injury to TCA (tamponade) 11 mins, but there is a window to intervene in this system (on scene 20 mins post injury). Survival 52% (tamponade) if RT at point of TCA or within 1 minute!… not a treatment for exsanguination in this cohort jamanetwork.com/journals/jamas…

The @LDNairamb prehospital #ECMO team is live. Ready to deliver #ECPR to the city of London. Great work @BenFelixSinger @NHSBartsHealth and the whole team.
