Medic Cop

@NewMetPC1 C1/D1 & PSU on permit

I’ve gone from being the driver of a minibus on aid to operator in a carrier due to vehicle shortages. Anyone advise me what class of license I need to drive a carrier?

@SC__Dan @abbdesmond Out of curiosity, what did you arrest for? I can think of a few offences but all have specific circs to be in play?

@abbdesmond I nicked someone a couple weeks back for doing that, admitted lying to the call handler prompting a response from multiple units including the Met (2 x firearms units too), LFB & LAS... Turns out he was drunk & had a sore leg😑 Medically cleared at scene and straight to custody.

@WecopsCaroline @merpolchiefcon Are you on Instagram? instagram.com/the_frontline_… MDP Dietician; has some great stuff….

Just looking ahead to Response Policing week... does anyone have anything on shift worker nutrition (clearly not me with my 4am McDonalds!!)? @merpolchiefcon are you still leading in this area Ma'am?

@ItsWeary As said; no defence, found by police, I assume on BWV?, GAP.

@DrDerrickTin Depends on environment, risk & audience really; personal kits of vehicle? need to be competent & governed in kit use. Glow sticks aren’t that great imo & I’d be dubious about the survival blanket too.

@ps_met Happy to chat on DM

@DrDerrickTin Keep it realistic. If your docs aren’t going to be an initial response in real life, don’t make them so for an Ex. Get other agencies involved & let them do what they would do, not pretend they’re unable for the benefit of your docs. Use real life ‘casualties’ & bystanders.

@AnotherTweetCop I still remember the pain, vividly!

@TJQ73 Awesome news, we’ll done!

@ross_moy @PoliceMedics Evening @ross_moy, as many have already replied; yes; in certain elements of some forces. To my knowledge no force has it rolled out / trained for use by all of its officers.

@Para_Medic10 @PoliceMedics @dcbrnc Have you looked at Lydd? Decent enough range of buildings / environment; not sure re vehicles mind.

@PoliceMedics You mean an expensive poor quality replica? 🤔

Why settle for an expensive alternative, when you can have the real thing for £4?! 🙈 bluelightgifts.org.uk/police-medic/

Over five years ago we started our social media, website and a small amount of merchandise to build awareness of the #PoliceMedic role amongst other pre-hospital responders and our colleagues, and therefore improve interoperability and deliver joined-up casualty care.

#TacMini21 give away! We have a really nice goodie bag from our friends at @BremontMilitary @Bremont & #SnigelDesign ). Super cool cufflinks & the Snigel trauma pouch snigel.se/product/trauma… To be in the draw RT & check out @DUSTOFF_Podcast , @ChrisRyanPod & @TheEmergMind

@078Ian @toby_MCC99 @ATACCGroup @ATACCFaculty With the myriad of first aid / prehospital care / “medic” courses available for anyone to sign up to, why would a force elect to recognise them, and by virtue take responsibility for content / delivery they’ve had no sight of? It’s a governance nightmare 🤯

@078Ian @toby_MCC99 @ATACCGroup @ATACCFaculty Why would they? Having done the course it’s clinically advanced & way above our scope; as a cop you’ll amaze yourself with how you shine in scene management aspects & the basic technical skills, but we’re unlikely to ever be near the level of technical skill taught here.

You know when ATACC is coming when the @uk_pax ATACC bags appear in the @ATACCGroup office. Ready for @ATACCFaculty #June #2021 #COMINGSOON

@dpm2blue It’s all about sharepoint nowadays.

@hut_lucy @_DF42 @mattmoore999 @HaldenHB @ICS_updates @HoldsterTM @Obidoc @d0ct0revil Pretty sure it’s in the loft if anyone wants it...... yellow never really was my colour 🤷🏻‍♂️

@_DF42 @mattmoore999 @HaldenHB @ICS_updates @HoldsterTM @Obidoc @d0ct0revil @MedicCop

Have you ordered your @HoldsterTM yet? It's a perfect way to carry everything you need at work in ICU, and a portion of the proceeds even come to @ICS_updates! So if you haven't already, grab yours now. 👉 holdster.co.uk

@DrOatibix @keatingteam1 I’ll disagree on that; D13 sets out a list of skills; there’s no kit list.

@DrOatibix @keatingteam1 What is this recommended kit list you talk off? There’s a menu of skills & then down to force governance to decide what’s taught & issued. Airway management can be as simple as a jaw thrust through to iGels.
