@DrEilidhMaria That’s slightly less than I get as a Paramedic at the top of band 6, not including overtime and unsocial hours payments

@SJA_DConlon @stjohnambulance I’ll send you the fixture list for Lords 😉

[ParaPapaTango @ParaPapaTango]

Day 1 of the 1st Lord’s test of the season, and one of the best roles in the event. Working with an excellent team of volunteer staff and colleagues from Lord’s and London Ambulance Service. @SJAOperations @Ldn_Ambulance @HomeOfCricket

[ParaPapaTango @ParaPapaTango]

@Luke_Tester @stjohnambulance It was great to see you again, and to have you back as part of the Lord’s family. Don’t leave it so long next time!

[ParaPapaTango @ParaPapaTango]

You’ll have to come at join us as Lords one day, get a different view!

@Footinit @NurseChristell1 Shirley you must be joking…. 🙃

[ParaPapaTango @ParaPapaTango]

Heading home after a two days with @SJA_surrey and @SJAOperations supporting @EpsomRacecourse for EpsommDerby 2024.

As always a pleasure to be back in Surrey, working with a great team under the leadership of @billybrown01 as the ambulance lead.

Helping train a @stjohnambulance entry level cycle responder course for @SJAWestCRU and @SJASouthEastCRU in Bristol. New volunteers for events this season across the south of the country and beyond.

[DJ Stotty 💙 @djstottyimages]

Six SJA Cycle Response Unit's from across the South East joined the BM Medical Team covering the entire 26.2 miles led by Spencer Hildrew & provided an excellent resource throughout the day supporting both runners &spectators.

A welcome sight for so many runners - thank you💚

@djstottyimages @DrRobgalloway @stjohnambulance @GEHealthCare @siemensindustry @airambulancekss @Luke_Tester @todd_leckie @familyfeetsol @drsalwamalik @Mercephysio One of the best multi agency, multidisciplinary teams I’ve ever had the privilege to work with! Thank you @djstottyimages for capturing the spirit of what we all do.

[ParaPapaTango @ParaPapaTango]

@danbevis @stjohnambulance I’ve asked for a SJA crew specifically for this reason on more than one occasion

[ParaPapaTango @ParaPapaTango]

@DrLawrieG Depends on your ambulance service in some regards though, my trust is spending thousands of hours a week cohorting patients in corridors and holding them in ambulances outside hospitals until there is room for them to enter, whilst watching our own waiting stack grow.

[ParaPapaTango @ParaPapaTango]

@AmboManJake I say that every time someone goes past me on the light 🤣

[ParaPapaTango @ParaPapaTango]

@mattscott77 @Josh_R137 I had one the other day that specified how they liked their tea in hospital

What are your views on #111 triage? As an ambulance HCP we seem to be sent to a lot of patients for a face to face when they just want advice, for example information on medication doses and side effects

[Rob Galloway @DrRobgalloway]

Following a tweet about impact of NHS 111 triage algorithms, I've been invited to share my concerns with NHS England. Be good to know others views - please vote and retweet to increase sample.

Do you think 111 clinical algorithms are?

[ParaPapaTango @ParaPapaTango]

@ParaAndy90 Always! The best way to learn and to engage! I’ll happily sit in the back.

[ParaPapaTango @ParaPapaTango]

I meant to post this before, but I spent last weekend with @robinh_7 providing ambulance cover on behalf of @stjohnambulance for @OFFICIALIOWAS and @IOWNHS. What a wonderful group of very welcoming individuals! Thank you for hosting us and I look forward to coming back soon.

Very early on in my study I couldn’t wrap my head around why, during diastole (❤️ relaxation) there was any blood pressure at all - let alone ~80mmHg!!
Until I discovered the Windkessel Effect!
I have made this video for my students to understand!
