…. So that’s not how to do it…. Oh

Paramedics frequently have to attend road traffic collisions Paddy tells how unfortunately he knows only too well how parents feel to lose a son or daughter in a crash Here he describes how his son lost his life when he made a decision not to wear his seatbelt @nias999 @deptinfra

Love getting free upgrades. Empty middle seat, complimentary boarding card and a window seat! This is basically business class. Great stuff @Ryanair don’t know what people be complaining about!

Baby in arms is no way to transport a patient! Use the appropriate restraints in the back of an ambulance. Pedi mate, baby car seat or integrated child seat. There’s no excuse! Car Crash Test 7 km/h. youtube.com/shorts/HZNdtW1…

A massive increase in inpatient bed capacity announced today, this is great to hear. But beds are only as good as the staff around them….. so where are all the additional staff going to come from?

Wisdom from the 1973 "Orange Book". Still holds true today

@Lauraoc25 What are you talking about. All cans of coke are green.

I think this picture wins the internet today.

@jwflame just seen this tesla.com/sites/default/… page 39. Don’t know if you know about this. Link to your video.

It is a privilege and honour to be selected as a Finalist in the @IPERN999 Capt Dara Fitzpatrick 2024 Award, I am truly humbled and delighted. Happy #InternationalWomensDay to all the incredible women working in Emergency Services on the island of Ireland, YOU ARE AWESOME ⭐️⭐️

A short thread for parents, which will hopefully show why we can be confident that *nobody* is at risk of autism from the MMR vaccine. Below are some of the studies that look at the MMR and autism rates in different countries. Spoiler: The link does not exist…

Just a thought...... When we need more plumbers or carpenters - we never say - "we need more vans". Because the van is merely a machine to do a job. Its not the van we need - it's the skills of the person in the van..... So we need to rethink the "ambulance" discussion

An incredible response by the Voluntary Emergency Services yesterday & today supporting @AmbulanceNAS @CorkKerryCH @HSELive @Corkcoco @GardaTraffic in Midleton and the East Cork area as a result of Storm Babet. @stjohnie @irishredcross @OrderofMaltaIRL @CivilDefenceIRL

@lukeming Jesus @lukeming what ever about legalising cannabis, but legalising cocaine and making the defence forces redundant all to save a few quid that undoubtedly your brethren will waste else where, that air in Europe has gone to your head!

So that's all the cocaine gone out of Ireland then. Well you'd be forgiven for thinking that with all the cheerleaders in the media. What exactly has been achieved? How much did this 'achievement' cost the state?

A little bit of an early start this morning but worth it. A few snaps of those who work in the background to keep those competing and those spectating at this years #Cork20Rally safe. Not forgetting the Marshals out on the stages who if they were not there, then no rally.

Sinead O'Connor signing "Mother" as part of Roger Waters- The Wall live in Berlin concert. The Irish lilt added to this song and her voice made it! She was a phenomenal singer! #RIPSinead youtu.be/QRbKXACBaoc via @YouTube

As our summers get warmer some of our people have asked for shorts to be provided as part of our uniform. I’m pleased to say that #TeamWAST will soon be able to access shorts for use at work in the summer months to make working in the hot weather more comfortable.
