Brightening up Holby E.D.
Fundraising nationally under dubious generalised terminology.
Hoping to make our medical colleagues smile in difficult times.

Great day with the legends @riches_rob and @_Tom_A_Ward. Even got to bump into our Docs @leighbissett and Asher at work

Really rewarding seeing the scheme grow from hundreds of hours of prep , to over 250 activations since March this year

@JonesTheBosher No vaccine? No kneeboard.

Keep fighting the good fight Dr Jones.

We salute you.

[Ami Jones @JonesTheBosher]

I’m a fully vaccinated ITU consultant. My family who are eligible to be, are all vaccinated. My risk of ending up sick with covid on itu pre-vaccination was probably small but vaccination is not always about you and your risk, it’s about protecting others #vaxxeddoctors

@wmaspeterbowles @WMASHART As long as you're not wearing #kneeboards crack on

@hazzajg It's like that time we last boshed an arm!

Let's put it all down to Human Factors

[HolbyAirAmbulance @AirHolby]

No wonder you had to bosh the neck. You may have forgotten something that attaches to the BVM? 🧐

Glad to see no one sporting #kneeboards though

[Harry Griffen @hazzajg]

Great couple of days at @liveshq topping up my critical care skills under the direction of @HaldenHB great to hone the rarely used skills and learn some new. Cheers Hutch! @LinnellRoger @nashetho @SiShingler @lincs999dr

@hazzajg Bollocks! It's an arm! 🤦‍♂️ It's been a long pandemic!

Still forgot the f***ing tube though! 😉

[HolbyAirAmbulance @AirHolby]

Good to see socially distanced med kit.

Bravo.

Do offshore accounts do business via Zoom?

[dido harding @didoharding]

Nothing like personal experience of your own products ....got this overnight. Feeling well. Many hours of Zoom ahead.

[HolbyAirAmbulance @AirHolby]

As long as you wear that hat and sunglasses I wouldn't worry too much about the content 😉

Doing a talk on “my lessons from HEMS/aeromed”...feel like an imposter. As a novice , do any wiser colleagues have any must-have gems that they’ve picked up?? (I realise this is a broad question!) @VikingOne_ @PBSherren @tonyjoy81 @gareth_grier @eimsyeire ...pretty please

[HolbyAirAmbulance @AirHolby]

Come Stephen. You've got to make your book plugs a bit more subtle than that! #peakperformance

[Stephen Hearns @StephenHearns1]

Coronavirus infection not severe enough to cause any symptoms but was severe enough to cause cognitive impairment? 🧐 #Ferrier https://t.co/Mux5uyJFOM

Your current heli is more lit up than a @BASICS_HQ response car!

Our favourite line:

'To me, it wasn't therapeutic. It just made me better.'

[HolbyAirAmbulance @AirHolby]

@jonbateman @RadventureDave Jon - they've covered up the bloody kneeboards??? And how the hell do you write on the anyway when you've got rockets stuck to your arms.

You're right mate. Total insanity 🤦‍♂️

[HolbyAirAmbulance @AirHolby]

You beat us to KETPACK but will raise you a ROC.KETPACK???!

😂

[REBOA’s Ark @addictedtosmacc]

THANKS TO ALL MY FANS FOR BRINGING THIS TO MY ATTENTION.

WE ARE PLEASED THAT WE CAN DIVERSIFY FROM CHOPPERS TO JETPACKS.

OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE TRIED RUNNING THEM ON KETAMINE AS KETPACK SOUNDS MORE BOSHY.

Here at Holby we prefer to fumble with it, swear, then delegate the task to a less important person on scene.

Eg 'scuse me, Fire! Any chance you can get the end of that 'f###ing tape? I've got no chance in all this PPE'

It brings people together.

[Cliff Reid @cliffreid]

So many little things make up my pre-shift ritual, like ensuring tape is folded over at the end so it can be accessed quickly. If one thing from the routine is missed the universe is out of balance and catastrophe awaits.

[HolbyAirAmbulance @AirHolby]

@Matt_Leat This is right to highlight.

It's not fair on the Fire Service when everyone just thinks it's Police, Ambulance and HEMS.

[Coastguard Matt @Matt_Leat]

It really annoys me when people say “The Three Emergency Services”.

This past week I have been on lots of external calls and I have counted 43 occasions when it was said.

[HolbyAirAmbulance @AirHolby]

@HEMS_Driver @YorkshireAirAmb Absolutely vital laminating on show here.

Not only IPC compliant but allows you to eat a full English on your paperwork.
