@Justacarehomeg1 Paramedic, not nurse but always check my patient has dry pad and clothes and if not change to make sure comfortable and avoid creating unnecessary sores. Lack of personal basic care impacts a patient’s physical health and recovery. Surely that’s basics of any HCP

Is it #nursing changing? Is it #nursingeducation changing? Heard a recollection of a student who refused to assist with personal care as they weren't there to do a carers job! When did we lose the knowledge of the wealth of holistic information gained in these intimate acts?

@wmasjamesd It is what it is. You have good days and bad days. One day I will get one in first time yet previously ED struggled 8 times and had ultrasound with, other days it’s obvious but still unsuccessful. Keep trying, it will come!

💉 I was doing well with my cannulas (beginners luck) but the last few have not been so successful. I'd like to blame them all on bad veins but I can't 😅

@NJL_Blancq First year I was in the back. Second year was a mix. Third year my mentor preferred me in the front as I could see the scene as we approached and be assessing safety, access and egress in case we needed to go quickly. Really helpful for outside incidents.

Student paramedics (or those who once were): do you/did you get to sit in the front…

@antkitchener Thank you. It really doesn’t seem like 3 years!

@emma_king7 Congratulations Emma - awesome result, doesn’t seem 5 minutes since you were starting!

Paramedicine BSc ✅ 3 years of hard work juggling family life, Uni work, placement, and St John paid off.

@emsemsr I’ve just finished year 3 and remember that feeling. My advice would be to try and relax as much as you can and where possible lead every job. It goes so fast so make sure you take some time for yourself when you can.

Any advice for a paramedic student (🙋🏻‍♀️) who is going into their final year really soon who is currently absolutely terrified that they won’t be ready in time to qualify? PLEASE!

Been awhile since I’ve been training for SJA due to the amount of university work but great to be back as a demonstrator at the AFA course Day 1 in Derbyshire today and looking forward to Day 2. #mysjaday @stjohnambulance

@georgebellstarr I’ve taken advantage of my elective to do 2 weeks in a GP practice as feel it will be beneficial to a lot of calls we go to. Did a week in minors too as part of the hospital block and a week with mental health and dementia both of which were really useful.

Been waiting nearly 5 years for this. My Xmas present from 2018! But what an amazing show and well worth the wait! What a way to finish! Thank you for playing Your Song! #eltonfarewelltour

@EMAS_SamJ Yeah it definitely is!

@JamieMstj @s_walley93 @stjohnambulance Thank you 😊

@emma_king7 @s_walley93 @stjohnambulance Got it. Will email in the coming days and arrange the meeting 😊😊

@s_walley93 @JamieMstj @stjohnambulance Thank you @s_walley93. Hopefully this works after being trying to do this since last year.

@JamieMstj @stjohnambulance @emma_king7

5 yo I passed my @stjohnambulance OFA. I progressed to youth leader at cadets and then advanced FA. Added on being unit logistics and later took over badger manager. Im now a student para due to qualify in 6 mths still in these roles and still remember where it started #mysjaday

Helping train days 1 and 2 of the OFA course at Derby for @stjohnambulance this weekend. Missed the fire works event to get some AFA hours in as didn’t get back in time but a positive weekend all the same. #mysjaday

5 years ago my @stjohnambulance journey started. I am now a youth unit manager, Advanced First Aider and demonstrator. SJA gave me the confidence to change career and do something I enjoy and can’t wait until next year when I pass my Paramedic BSc and wear the Paramedic Role bar

Very Proud Unit Manager having my badgers presented with their Bronze awards for the older ones and Welcome awards for the newer members. Thanks @SamPark77758145

@SamPark77758145 Thanks for coming and doing the presentations. Very proud of them! 😊

Visiting Church Gresley Badgers tonight for Berties birthday party and presentation!

Spent the afternoon for @stjohnambulance on first aid cover at Derby County. Very emotional at the minutes silence and the singing of the national anthem before kick off. A good win for DCFC. #mysjaday

Thank you Ma’am, for everything.

Today marks the end of year 2 @dmuleicester as a Student Paramedic. Everything passed, now to enjoy 5 weeks off and a week in Crete next week with the kids before they go back to school. 😎
