@simontutt88 @TheLeeMcLaren I've considered this dilemma with my own student. The compromise we have reached together is that I will attend the first job of the shift, and then they will attend the rest of the shift.

This way, by observing me attend the 1st job I am able to set / display the standard.

[Patrick Long @PatocheLong]

What a charming and informative way to convey a major change in practice! Well done!

This is horrendous!

[West Midlands Police @WMPolice]

#WATCH | This is the shocking moment two paramedics were stabbed in #Wolverhampton.

Knifeman Martyn Smith has been jailed today for 9 years.

The paramedics consented to us releasing the video to highlight the dangers Blue Light workers can face while protecting the public.

[Patrick Long @PatocheLong]

Hell yeah! Another successful test!

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Successful ascent, switchover to header tanks & precise flap control to landing point!

[Patrick Long @PatocheLong]

@joe_varker @bournemouthuni Yesss, mate! Nice one!!

[Patrick Long @PatocheLong]

If only this was an option in UK paramedic practice!

[Aaron Turner @AaronTuNZ]

First FI block completed. No systemic analgesic or dissociation required. Perfect relief making extrication easy.

Landmark technique worked well and those pops are unreal.

I’ll fly up and sign you off @paramedickiwi @SarahWerner_NZ

@pneves09 "See you" then, mate! 😉

[Silas 🫀 @GenerallyUnwell]

Nothing makes my heart sink more than a C1 “confirmed cardiac arrest, 90 year old male, CPR instructions being given”.

Driving through the pouring rain and darkness towards another encounter with death and sadness is nothing short of pathetic fallacy.

@georgebellstarr Fantastic, congratulations!

[Patrick Long @PatocheLong]

Great article. Definitely a rampant problem within the ambulance service.

[ParamedicHQ @hq_paramedic]

Undeniably, there is a culture in the ambulance service of performing every diagnostic test "just in case".

@KernowShaun talks us through why this approach is not only unethical, but also dangerous for our patients.

Fantastic to see Kelvin has been discharged! Wishing him a swift recovery. Well done to all the staff at @Poole_Hospital.

[South Western Ambulance Service @swasFT]

We are so pleased to see our paramedic friend and colleague Kelvin coming out of hospital! Wishing you a continued speedy recovery Kelvin and thanks to all who took care of him at @Poole_Hospital

Great CPD session this evening on paediatric cardiac arrests run by @drkatiem and the rest of the @BasicsDorset team!
