Triple 9 First Aid

Super pleased to have accepted a role with @unilincoln as a lecturer in paramedic science. Part time so I will still be doing clinical shifts but this is a very exciting time! @UoL_Paramedics

It’s no secret that 10 years ago I was a very anxious, worried clinician battling huge imposter syndrome. So grateful to now have enough knowledge & experience to help students who are going through similar feelings.

Thanks for being a great group of lifesavers, year 7 🤩

@TM5006941 @ParamedicsUK Hi! I do still work on an ambulance in the NHS and have done for 10 years, I do both roles☺️ I believe this series is about highlighting the non-traditional roles paras can do as there’s loads that nobody knows about!

@ParamedicsUK @triple9firstaid Go on, drop a story about a paramedic who works on an ambulance in the NHS. How do you develop into a skilled, knowledgeable and compassionate clinician ON AN AMBULANCE? All @ParamedicsUK appear to be interested in is ‘specialising’. Maybe this is part of the retention issue 🤨?

This week we're delighted to share the broad roles in our exciting profession! 💚 Meet Jen Jackson - A forensic paramedic ( @triple9firstaid ) 🔎 Got any questions? Drop them in the comments 👍 #OurProfession #ParamedicsUK

‘As long as their hands are in the right place they can straddle me if it means getting a ROSC’

At the side of the mannequin… HOW can you teach BLS and not know that kneeling at the head is perfectly fine? HOW do they think we manage an airway as a long responder? WHY would you want to report a colleague? I really wanted to comment and say…

There are a lot of problems with the first aid training industry, one being you can have 0 clinical background & teach it. BUT, today I saw a trainer ask in a group if she should report another trainer because they were demonstrating CPR from the head end rather than kneeling…
