@TomTheParamedic Depends on what is means by virtual. hospital at home is well establish and great at managing acute illness. Needs the Consultant Nursing and AHP input at home not just remote monitoring and a prompt response to assess patients suitability and needs.

MTU FAST Awareness Teams are visiting stations across the North, East and West again today. The West team have shared their set up at Douglas station today. All teams working hard to raise stroke and FAST awareness.

@markthreea We have additional staff coming onto support this and one of plans is to be out at hospital /stations even to get brief discussions to support staff around pathways, non conveyance and decision making.

[Owen Williams @OWparamedic]

This week we will be in Edinburgh for more local CPD, spaces still available for our clinical decision making session. Focused on supporting safer non conveyance.

[Owen Williams @OWparamedic]

@Kristin82m Yes we are hoping to have some dates for the west soon 👍. We also have new clinical effectiveness leads for pathways, who will be arranging more cpd sessions across the year

[Owen Williams @OWparamedic]

We still have spaces available for SAS colleagues on our clinical decision making cpd sessions this week.
Details of our Inverness session coming soon.

Me and ⁦⁦@garyrutherford2⁩ are delivering more local CPD sessions. We’ll be face to face in Grangemouth to discuss clinical decision making particularly in the context of ‘non-conveyance’.

[Owen Williams @OWparamedic]

[Owen Williams @OWparamedic]

More CPD with staff in Grangemouth this morning. Can also announce me and @garyrutherford2 are heading to Inverness and Elgin in June for more local sessions.

[Owen Williams @OWparamedic]

@rdwmckendrick @garyrutherford2 Hi Richard, we’re not recording the sessions to allow a safe space for clinical discussion, there will be more CPD sessions in the area throughout the year.

@DCollingsHughes We have the @HarmLeads working across SAS to help educate staff about people who use drugs. Stigma is widespread for a number of reasons, important to help clinicians recognise the impact stigma has. https://t.co/BXklIMB4Ev

[Owen Williams @OWparamedic]

@MccroryCorinne Enjoyed our trip up @MccroryCorinne , we’ll be back 👍 it was a great opportunity for me and @garyrutherford2 to hear from staff about a challenging area of practice

[Owen Williams @OWparamedic]

@sheepybopeep @garyrutherford2 We aren’t planning on recording these as we want it to be a safe space for clinical discussions. With new regional clinical effectiveness leads being recruited we will be able to offer more cpd like this.

[Owen Williams @OWparamedic]

Next week me and @garyrutherford2 are heading North to talk about #realisticmedicine , shared decision making and how we can apply it to support a personalised approach to care.
SAS colleagues only at this time.

If your car isn’t packed with 50% drug harms education tools and 50% food, you are not doing @Scotambservice station education events properly 😂 If you’re a crew near VOL tonight, come share some cakes and chat with myself and our colleagues from @OverdoseRT
