Another great day at Lord’s, as one of the five doctors providing crowd cover at the West Indies vs England test match.
Thanks to the excellent @stjohnambulance team for having me back!

[Luke Tester @Luke_Tester]

Big thank you to @airambulancekss for having me as an observer last week - a fantastic opportunity to witness their finessed SOPs and teamwork, chat with the operational and support crews, and learn from the CPD and drills between missions. High standards to aspire to!

[Luke Tester @Luke_Tester]

Thank you to Dr Luke Tester, Event Clinical Lead and all from St John Ambulance for everything you’re doing today in setting up for the Brighton Marathon 2024 and all you’ll be doing tomorrow; you are all awesome (& skilled, competent and knowledgeable) The Best @stjohnambulance

[Rob Galloway @DrRobgalloway]

Probably the best marathon in the world - the Brighton Marathon - is now recruiting for medical volunteers - please come join the team!!

Without our volunteers there would be no marathon. This is especially true of our marathon, as with 20,000 people signed up, we need to provide care in our field hospitals as there is otherwise only one hospital they could go to.

Join the team for a great day of unique medical care and a great experience. Partnering with St John Ambulance, GE, siemens, Barts ECMO team, KSS Air ambulance and the British Military we provide a world leading medical set up

Clinical volunteers, doctors >F2 and above, nurses, physios (& their students) , podiatrists (& their students), pharmacists & techs, ODPs, biomedical scientists/techs, paramedics click here:

Non-clinical volunteers: medical and nursing students, NHS management team, admin heros, doctors F1&2, HCAs, doctors and nurses who would like to volunteer as non-clinical click here:

Thanks,
Rob Galloway, Brighton Marathon Medical Director
