Interested in pre-hospital emergency medicine and major trauma? Why not join us @SHU Check out "Professor Anil Hormis: Professorial Lecture" https://t.co/WhNYUIVLHx @EventbriteUK
We have to stop telling student and qualified paramedics to cover their arse or get struck off. Isolated error in an otherwise competent and caring professional is not a disciplinary or FTP matter. Most errors are system driven and the threats of blame are harmful and outmoded.
Before anyone else asks me 😀😀 this is the current position statement on the recent randomised controlled trial of the use of adrenaline in CPR https://t.co/QTshBa776m
The EXCON team that brought you #LIVEX18. We have had an amazing time, learnt loads and feel like we have taken mass casualty trauma care a step forward. EXCON out! (For now) @mdhindmarsh @SarahT_EPRR @ArmyMedServices @YorkTeachingNHS
So not content with one exercise..... we thought we would do two in one week. Today we’re training the Scarborough site. One week, two sites, two excercises, 200 staff, 100+ facilitators #LIVEX18 2 Med Bde AMSTC have been fantastic. What a week @YorkTeachingNHS @mdhindmarsh
You can have all the randomised control trials in the world, but working out how you maintain ability to apply them under serious pressure is really interesting.
Fascinating and humbling to be involved @YorkTeachingNHS#LIVEX18 and run whole hospital simulation over hours. #nhs70
Absolutely devastated - another #Fatal#Stabbing in #Sheffield tonight, that’s atleast 3 this week in the city and the second fatal. What an absolute waste of a young life, please, PLEASE just #DropTheKnife - carrying one isn’t gangster or glamorous, it’s stupid. #KnifeCrime
Delighted to read @The_HCPC#Education&TrainingCommittee yesterday proposed change of threshold for paramedics to register to be BSc.... programmes below this level will be withdrawn from Sept 2021. Brilliant to see over 1000 responses 82% were supportive of change 70% to BSc 😊

If you can't see do not blindly advance the laryngoscope. Lead with suction and advance methodically until you can identify epiglottis - then expose the glottic structures!
