@tasha_pinkxx I would have a flick through the JRCALC at common drug doses and this may sound extremely boring but I would have a look over the scope of practice policy for your employer/Trust. Particularly surrounding your discharge/referral rights as this is something you'll do everyday. 🙂

Trying to do some prep before starting as an NQP in 2 weeks time, anyone got suggestions on what topics i should revise? Feeling very nervous about starting 😐 I have already gone over NLS, PALs, ALS

Thoughts are with my friends and colleagues today 💚💚💚

@SECAmbulance 💚💚💚

It is with huge sadness that we confirm the death of a paramedic involved in a collision on the A21, near Tonbridge, Kent, yesterday evening (5 January 2022). A full statement is available here: bit.ly/3zvU0p8

Our CFRs arrive on scene within a few minutes, often before an #Ambulance arrives and can provide lifesaving first aid treatment, increasing the patient’s chances of survival. The advert should go live on the 4th January on the NHS Jobs website: jobs.nhs.uk 2/3

@Aidan_Baron Not a specific brand recommendation here but I like the idea of having an AED that uses the same or compatible pads as the monitor carried by ambulance crews. Cuts down on time + pad wastage. Plus option to restock pads from crew keeping CFRs on the road 👍

Best AED for community first responders ?

@DartGarin Doing the essentials early sometimes make all the difference, as long as stopping to assist doesn't put you in danger yourself👍. Have you looked into any full time roles within @YorksAmbulance?

I always stop at RTC's, not a doctor, nor a paramedic, but I know how to save life. I'm a qualified first aider and a CFR for YAS. I have personally invested in very good kit & know how to use it. If I have the CFR bag on board then I have 02 as well. Why? Because I want to help.

Nightshifts continue to pose a serious risk to rational thinking. I have just remembered that at 04.30am yesterday morning I agreed to take part in a marathon 😅

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:

@KiyaClaydon @DavidRNicholson This is awesome! Well done.. 🥳

Yesterday was a good day. Final CCP assessments successfully completed! Absolutely couldn’t have done it without these 3 @DavidRNicholson

@PangbourneLucy You and your fellow casualty actors were beyond brilliant. It was great to meet you.. and amputate your leg!

Amazing weekend volunteering as a casualty on the #ATACC course. Absolutely loved playing a part in a series of challenging and realistic simulations with such awesome teams.

This. Is. Awesome!

@ParaPracKC @SECAmbulance That's Awesome. Welcome back 👍.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them. 🌹🌹 #RemembranceDay2021 #PoppyProud #Veteran #RAFMedic #RoyalAirForce #LestWeForget

Attended and passed the @ResusCouncilUK Advanced Life Support course, run by @EastAngliAirAmb. Incredibly knowledgable faculty and got the opportunity to train alongside clinicians from various specialialities. An excellent weekend. Thank you EAAA! #CPD #Development #Resus #ALS

@dottykitkat @SussexIncidents I cannot answer that however I know the Service made contact with the Paramedic and one of our Team Leaders picked them up. 🙂 Hopefully this entire situation gets resolved soon. 🤞 It's not just us it's affecting.

@SussexIncidents @SECAmb_Danny Have they got fuel now do you know ?

The reality of the fuel crisis. Paramedic @SECAmb_Danny spotted a colleague's car parked near a petrol station with this note left in the window.

@kimberleyseddon Absolutely 👏. We practice unscheduled healthcare on the background of limited information. There is no shame whatsoever. I think recognising when you don't know is sometimes more important than when you do..

NQP’s: on occasion, you’re going to come to a job, where the patient is sick - and you don’t know why they are sick, but they are. There is no shame whatsoever in saying “I’m not sure” or “I don’t know.”

@stparamedic Awesome, Well done! It's a great feeling isn't it?! 🥳

@ParamedMike @uocparamedics I'm starting on the same module next week 👍

Start my BSc top up next week with @uocparamedics Kicking it off with Evidence Based Practice. Any advice? #paramedic #ambulance #university

@HwaltonSJA @Ldn_Ambulance Well done! 👏🥳. Best of luck..

Three years waiting to wear Paramedic on my shoulder, it’s finally here. @Ldn_Ambulance
