Thank you The @FA for lending us @WembleyStadium to use for training: so we can train larger groups and be socially distant.

Today almost 100 of our newly-qualified paramedics completed their course at the stadium.

Congratulations to you all and well done to the course tutors!

It seems that Londoners are finally listening after BoJo told us we're all grounded

Can’t wait to finish my 3 years with countless hours of placement AND writing a dissertation to start acting! #studentparamedic #COVID19

[Sophia @SPitsialis]

This is the type of enthusiasm I'd like on all of my hospital placements please !

[Sophia @SPitsialis]

Yesterday on placement I told a consultant on my ward that I wasn't too confident in identifying heart murmurs as I hadn't heard many in the past. Today he came and found me and seemed so excited to tell me that he'd found one that I could listen to.

My favourite part of hospital placement so far is my patient stopping on the entonox mid contraction to tell me I have amazing eyebrows

It was announced today that secondary school children are to be taught basic lifesaving skills from 2020. 👏

Are you thinking about your New Year's Resolution? Why not choose learning life-saving skills like CPR?

I got a letter at work...
From the daughter of a gentleman our team could not save.

Sometimes, it’s not so much about the #resuscitation stuff.
Sometimes, it’s about the #human stuff.
Grief mgmt is a key element of end of life care. Let’s all strive to do it well.

Imagine you are having a STEMI - a thread in 5 parts...

You call an ambulance, but the police arrive. They handcuff you and bundle you into the back of their van.

You are carted off to an emergency department, where the doctors only have a vague understanding of your disease.

[Luke Evans @TheRealLukevans]

Being able to walk into a hospital and ask for medical help without first having to explain in detail how you plan to pay is an incredible thing that we shouldn’t ever take for granted. It isn’t like that everywhere. We’re a very lucky island. #NHS70
