@NWAirAmbulance we're incredibly fortunate to work one shift alongside Consultants in Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine and the next with another CCP. The constant is our pilots keeping us safe and getting us to patients. Mixed operating models means we offer the public more.

Key output from my PhD fellowship has been published in Resuscitation TLDR: 🚨 Prehospital critical care teams were less likely to attend cardiac arrest patients in more deprived neighbourhoods. 🚨 No association with neighbourhood ethnicity 🧵... resuscitationjournal.com/article/S0300-…

👇NHS Anaesthetist and UK-Med medic, Dr Matt Newport, shares his harrowing account of working in Al Aqsa; one of #Gaza’s remaining hospitals. Our teams in Gaza have conducted more than 530 surgical interventions so far, 25% of them on injured children. ➡️tinyurl.com/4mtj934e

"The casualty load is heavily weighted towards children - which is palpably traumatic. When working in international conflict zones I’m used to mainly dealing with adult men.” UK-Med surgeon, Andy Kent has just returned from Gaza. Read his interview in the Inverness Courier.
