@AutoInfatuation Genuine question - if you swap cars frequently (once or twice per year) do you just use a standard policy like admiral and make a change or do you have a specialist policy that allows you to add and remove at will?
Incident update ๐ฝ
We were called at 4.50pm today (Monday 8) to Terminal 4 at Heathrow airport. We sent ambulance crews, our cycle response unit, an incident response officer, and our hazardous area response team (HART). We treated 21 patients before taking one to hospital.
What a fantastic year for Team LAS. So privileged to be CEO of such an incredible part of the NHS. So much achieved in 2023 and so many big plans for 2024 too! Happy New Year.
This guy might be a friend but Jesus he needs shouting out and recognising for this!
Genuinely selfless. Bravo yet again Tom ๐
Plugging the gaps in care that shouldnโt even exist in the first place!
On October 9th, 1996, a woman calling herself Mary Anderson checked into the Hotel Vintage Park in Seattle. Upon checking in, she gave a fictional address in New York. She was well-groomed, with combed hair, painted nails, and a full face of makeup.
Two days later, staff entered her room after she failed to check out. Lying on the sofa, was her dead body. She had died by suicide by ingesting cyanide.
Staff found a note close to her body reading "To Whom it may concern, I have decided to end my life and no one is responsible for my death. Mary Anderson. I have no relatives. Use my body as you choose."
A Bible lay open on her chest on Psalm 23. To this day, the identity of "Mary Anderson" remains a mystery.
@BBCNews the CCTV clip used her which shows the police van following very close is clearly altered. The time stamp in the top right corner jumps 11 seconds to make it seem as though the van was chasing them. This is appalling journalism.
@MidoriOtoko1@TheLeeMcLaren This relies on accurate identification of the bleeding patient by pre-hospital clinicians.
Something the data certainly doesnโt indicate we do well at all! ๐ค
How good is your BVM technique? ๐ซ

@LeonBaranowski@SECAmbulance Is this still on going?!
My god I remember talking to @richardarmour99 about this nearly 3 years ago and it was an absolute nightmare to try and navigate back then (even with the fab resource you guys pulled together online)

@davescrafton Do the age per page cards overlap with the critical care ones? Or are they two completely different sets of cards?
Just wondering if I should wait until the crit care ones come back in stock then risk having a lot of duplicate cards
