1/3 A paper recently published on physician lead prehospital critical care teams has recently lead to some heated discussions in various spheres. Further discussion has resulted in a white paper being authored by the prehospital and retrieval medicine society of New Zealand

So completely agree. Let them face a family at an inquest rather than finding the lowest person on the pole to blame in our ‘just culture’.

We need coroners to involve the management and politicians that set up a system to fail patients. Rather than just putting frontline staff on the stand.

Taking falsified medicines can harm your health. They may contain:
❌ no or incorrect amount of active ingredient
❌ the wrong active ingredient
These medicines won’t treat or prevent disease & may cause harmful side effects. Only purchase 💊 from authorized pharmacies.

This is bad.
Eir’s customer complaint manual:
"Under no circumstances are the complaints number or complaints webpage address to be provided to any customer. An agent found to be doing this will be subject to a disciplinary under call avoidance."
Irish court fined it €7,500

This is brilliant. Cobras. Goals vs target measured vs unintended vs unintended outcome. It’s a huge problem in healthcare.

Goodhart's Law = when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure Important concept and often a mistake made in healthcare Combat it by: 1. multi-dimensional measures 2. conduct thought exercises w/ various data to eval for unintended actions 3. regular review

"Dying, just like being born, is a process our bodies go through quite naturally. Knowing what to expect takes away a lot of the fear."

@keatingteam1 @stemlyns No offence intended but you might want to review your slide in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions for use, I say this as someone like you with a very vested interest in improving oxygen cylinder safety.

Teaching O2 admin to Police officers on a course this week. Cylinder safety has been seldom taught in the past, and is massively important. One of my slides for CPD.

Seen much about a child in possession of a ‘toy’ being detained at gunpoint by armed officers? Although @firearmsWMP won’t comment on this case, our job is increasingly difficult when we deal with ‘toy’ gun incidents. This ‘toy’ is in fact real & capable of killing! Enough said?

Fantastic afternoon, certain now more than ever that our quest to eliminate incivilty will improve patient safety and staff wellbeing.

The psychological impact of resuscitation affects everyone differently. Immediately afterwards, you might feel great – or sometimes you might not be affected at all.
But it's important to remember that at times, exposure to resuscitation can be shocking, upsetting or disturbing.

Essential listening for every single member of An Garda Siochana, including the Commissioner and indeed the Minister for Justice. Urgent action required.
