Here we are again, in the storm of an emergency care crisis in our hospitals and communities, and somehow it feels like a surprise, despite this happening every single year without fail for the last decade (at least).
🚑 Is your EMS / ambulance service geared up to achieve first shock delivery in 6 minutes?
New research on out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) shows that every minute counts. Delivering the first shock within 6 minutes is crucial to survival. Beyond 6 mins, the chance of terminating VF drops sharply.
🩺 Key Takeaways:
Success in VF termination: 93% if shocked within 6 mins
1-min delay = 6% lower defib success, 6% lower survival to discharge
Timely defibrillation = fewer shocks, better outcomes
Investing in strategically placed AEDs and use of community responder apps such as @GoodSamApp can enhance response times and save lives.

Privatisation has never been about providing a cheaper, better service. It has always been about the rich stealing the assets we own and selling inferior services back to us at exorbitant prices.
Actions required for a #stabbing victim with central stab wounds?
Think STAB-5.
Rapid assessment
Rapid haemorrhage control
Rapid transport
Don’t be reassured by “superficial” wounds or a pt who is GCS15
Great resource from @gwaac colleagues
Compare Michelle Mone and her husband’s startup company, Medpro that had NEVER provided any PPE before and this chap’s established PPE company who employed 1600 people. She got £200 million after phoning Michael Gove. The government ignored him completely.
Michelle Mone & husband have so far run off with £65 million from being in the VIP PPE LANE with a company only days old hiding their involvement.
Arco Ltd employing 1600 as regular provider to govt weren't allowed access.
I'm working with @GoodLawProject to bring you full detail from a treasure trove of leaked data in THE VIP FILES
