Weekend well spent providing medical cover in London with St John Ambulance. Saturday involved England V France Rugby, and today involved being Treatment Centre Manager at TC 4.1 at the London Marathon! 🚑 ☀️
Even got to meet @GordonRamsay!
An @UlsterUni student paramedic taught me how to do CPR today for @ResusCouncilUK#restartaheart month. Not knowing CPR has eaten away at me since I saw someone murdered five years ago. I couldn’t help them. If you can, please do learn CPR. You never know when you might need it
Royal Park Half Marathon was definitely an experience… First time undergoing the Treatment Centre Manager role with some amazing volunteers and healthcare professionals. Until next time TC 4.2!
@SJA_NI were tasked at 1617hrs on 07/10/24 by @NIAS999 to deploy our fleet of emergency ambulances & respond to the Major Incident bus crash scene outside Carrowdore, Co.Down.
SJA NI deployed 20 emergency ambulances and 50 volunteers.
Our thoughts are with those involved.
@WesternHSCTrust participated in City of Derry Major incident exercise tonight, support by @PSNIDCSDistrict and @NIAS999 fantastic learning experience - collaborative working to test our process and improve planning strategies from ED to HMT

That’s induction week done and dusted at @UlsterUniSoNP. Brilliant insights into @ParamedicsUK, @NIAS999, Student Union and the on-site campus resources available to us over the next 3 years! Officially a student paramedic and delighted to say the least, exciting future ahead!
@Alice__Cochrane @ParamedicsNi@UlsterUniSoNP@JacqParamedic @MattStudentPara @of_foyle Brilliant insight into the College of Paramedics and the next 3 years for us. Thanks for a very informative session with a good bit of craic throughout. Hope to see you out on placement sometime, Alice!
Ould Lammas Fair day 3 of 2023 - Patrick and I are crewing PA99, providing emergency ambulance support alongside other colleagues from units throughout the district! Come try the famous yellowman candy! #MySJADay
From attending the 12th of July parade in Dromore as an Emergency Ambulance Crew, to building and assisting at treatment centre 2 at Scarva/sham fight to a shift supporting @NIAS999, it’s been a hectic week but we got there in the end with a lot of caffeine consumed. ☕️🚑
Our Sevenoaks team had a wee trip to St John Ambulance West Tyrone last night in getting them familiarised with some of our ambulances and manual handling equipment. Great night with 10/10 craic. 🚑 ☀️
Yesterday I provided cover with PA026 and a fellow Emergency Ambulance Crew at the AVA Festival in #Belfast! Today we have volunteers who are covering a family fun day organised by the Renal Support Group at Altnagelvin Hospital! Enjoying the sun while we can. ☀️🚑
This weekend consisted of myself and other volunteers from @SJA_NI travelling to London assisting @stjohnambulance with the Ride London 2023 cycle event. Safe to say it was an amazing experience with amazing people and I even found my “twin” while out and about.
This week myself and many other St John Ambulance volunteers provided first aid, ambulance and treatment centre cover for the North West 200. It was an eventful and thrilling week with a bit of sunburn along the way! 🚑 #NW200
