@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. 🙂

Thoughts are with my friends and colleagues today 💚💚💚

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: https://t.co/rvHhlXnTbk

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: https://t.co/Xl6mO1XNam

@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 👍

@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?

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.. 🥳

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

[Danny Hughes @DeltaHotel830]

This. Is. Awesome!

Speedy action can save lives. We’ve kitted out 500 of our vehicles with portable defibrillators, as well as teaming up with @TheBHF to train our staff in CPR ❤️

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. 🌹🌹

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.

[Danny Hughes @DeltaHotel830]

@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..

[Danny Hughes @DeltaHotel830]

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

[Danny Hughes @DeltaHotel830]

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

[Danny Hughes @DeltaHotel830]

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