On duty today at Remembrance Day service in Brighton. Not Secamb duty this time but playing Trombone in the band. I had one 👁 on @Secamb wreath laid by Mr Mitchell & the other 👁 on a handbag I was looking after @CFOESFRS Probably should have been looking at the music!!🤣😳

@SECAmbulance I have the honour of having Steph in my team. I am immensely proud to call her a friend & colleague- oh & she is Trans. She is committed to everything and everyone be they patients, relatives or colleagues. Always providing excellent care and compassion at the highest level.

Steph an Operational Team Leader crewed with Adrian our Ops Manager on a @SECAmbulance shift yesterday. Ensuring managers are also out on the front line delivering patient care. @AdrianDry1 @MeechSteve @SECAmbstaff

Out & about on @SECAmbulance @SecambPMRC Polegate Ambulance in East Sussex with these 2 wonderful Team Leader/Clinicians. It was a real step back in time for me, in SO many weird ways!!! Serious and appropriately silly times during shift. Thanks @MeechSteve and Rebecca Francis.

My partner in crime on the Trombone bench until health forced him to stop. A kind and true Christian gent, with energy and youthful enthusiasm that belied his years. RIP Cyril. 🙏🙏

Extra time spent with the AWESOME East Sussex team today. True team working across the county supporting staff, NHS colleagues and the community. A coffee and chat goes a long way!

Goodies all individually packed in bags for every crew member working on Xmas Eve night, Xmas Day, Boxing Day, NYE night & NY Day. Great effort stretching £s ensuring EVERYONE has at least something to get them through the shift in East Sussex. Thanks Sam & Julie. Good job! 👏👏

Just a quick post for an appeal close to my heart. The Salvation Army (Brighton) are aware of 500+ children needing cheer this Christmas in the City. This week Toys will be gratefully received & distributed from the site in Park Crescent Terrace. If you can please donate. Thanks

[Adrian Dry @AdrianDry1]

We will remember them. In Brighton @sussex_police @EastSussexFRS @CFOESFRS @SECAmbulance @salvationarmy

Sad news, a true dedicated volunteer. RIP.

Today’s a sad day not only for ourselves but for the @stjohnambulance family as we say our final farewells to a much loved and dedicated volunteer for the whole of the @SJALondon_South Region.

@djobtn @BSUH_NHS Thanks buddy - my gall bladder was whipped out. On the road to recovery. See you soon no doubt. Make sure you get some R & R!

[Adrian Dry @AdrianDry1]

I’d like to thank the nursing team @ESHTNHS at EGDHospital admissions unit who looked after me pre and post procedure earlier this week. Great care and treatment - thanks. Even Mrs D was impressed!!!

[Adrian Dry @AdrianDry1]

Excellent news! A reflection and confirmation that @SECAmbulance staff provide outstanding care. Hugely proud of the East Sussex OU clinicians and leadership team who have enabled and contributed to this outcome. Thank You all

For the first time in 13 years I am not directly involved in #BrightonPride. I was proud to lead on planning &/or being a commander for many years for @SECAmbulance #pride. My focus is now elsewhere. Hope all goes well in the “village” of Brighton today. Keep safe and enjoy!🌈🌈
