@C4Dispatches When you did the FOI requests to get the figures for wait times, did you also find out how many of those where left at home, having not needed an ambulance in the first place?

A man with a suspected heart attack was told he could be waiting nearly two hours for an ambulance. His wife faced a difficult decision as emergency services were delayed, putting his life at risk.

Thanks for the opportunity @YorksAmbulance & @ResusCouncilUK . Really great to spend two days with the Crit Care paramedics & Drs. Huge amounts of knowledge gained that will inform future practice. Humbled to have been selected. #ALS #Paramedic

The first @YorksAmbulance @ResusCouncilUK #ALS course is complete! What a couple of days, so impressed by all the candidates. It's been great to see them develop & grow. It's been a bit of a challenge getting it over the line but I'm so chuffed we managed it! Time for a beer🍺

@GlenwrightCook Absolutely agree, most paramedics I know would happily do the training/ supervision etc in their own time to ensure they had this skill available if needed. Unfortunately it seems the trusts are not prepared to make this an available option.

@JBPara999 @YorkshireHart Well done JB, always a pleasure to see you on station, can’t wait to see what the future holds for the role! X

Really really pleased to have been successful in getting one of the new HART Critical Care Paramedic roles at @YorkshireHart - really exciting rotational role with a higher education pathway to boot! Months of pressure over now and the real work begins 😬

Mama can sew ❤️ Felt so good to dust off the machines after a huge break to study Paramedicine. #wolfandhedgehog #mindfulness #somerunicraft

@chadchr82 @EmergencyHull @HullHospitals Congratulations Chris! X

Hull Royal Infirmary! Thank you to EVERYONE who has helped and supported me from CT1 to Consultant in emergency medicine. There are #incrediblepeople in this #extraordinaryplace @EmergencyHull @HullHospitals Time now for a move. Look after each other, and stay safe . TTFN x

It was fascinating being taught by true experts in theatres @Derriford_Hosp & realising how poorly us as paramedics are educated about essential airway management, particularly facemask ventilation. Therefore here's a little 🧵 that others might find useful on things I picked up:

Perfect Sunday morning under a blanket with a new book. Excellently written by a great colleague @999CPD really informative with relevant case studies that are easy to digest. Recommend to any student/NQP. #Paramedic #BookRecommendations #RichardPilbery #CPD

@ParaCharlie Ordered my copy, can’t wait to get stuck in!

It's arrived! Fantastic news, can't wait to finally hold a printed copy 📚📖🫀🚑

This article in the JPP Prescribing Paramedic series focuses on patient-centred prescribing, autonomy and concordance. #Echobox=1636384802-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">paramedicpractice.com/features/artic…

Wise words from @TheMontyDon . An insight many of us would benefit from in the ambulance service! Mistakes are opportunities to reflect, learn and share that learning with colleagues! Not something to chastise and punish #JustCulture #SafeMistakes

What we need is somebody to start a rumour that the NHS is significantly overwhelmed, understaffed, undervalued and is going to “run out” of its capacity and start panic supporting… Oh shit…it’s not a rumour!

@katepitters6 Remember how you felt and take it from there, you’ll be amazing. Xx

I’m mentoring my first student this week, she’s a first year student first block of placement. Any advice on mentoring? How to make an action plan? How to facilitate her learning? #paramedic #mentoring #studentparamedic

Meet Bear, the new addition to our family ❤️

@katepitters6 That might change 😁
