@Ldn_Ambulance you recently posted about your awesome Pet Therapy Team dogs! A fantastic initiative to support staff. #Defib the cat is clearly very much part of Team LAS… Sounds like Speciesism to me!! Save #Defib from eviction!

@TheBMA I couldn’t agree more there is nothing junior about most junior doctors! Change was needed, but titles should be for patients. I’m not sure “resident” makes it any clearer. Junior Doc, Doc, Senior Doc, Consultant (or similar progression) may have been clearer?
@Dr__Sarmy This is how pilots have been trained for a long time… a 2year course that takes you from having no / little flying experience to a job with easyJet as a Second Officer, working with an experienced Captain.
It’ll be at least 7 or so years after training before becoming a Captain
@gareth_grier@EHAAT_@alice_kershberg @molly_trish Phenomenal team!! Fantastic to see how far the roles have developed from 2017 when Adam and I started! Proud to have been a small part of the journey.
@Sheepie_1985@katie_pilot Yea, I’m not the youngest in my cohort either… Class 1 is daunting, but my experience is it’s not as bad as anticipated… Career change was a big leap for me… but no regrets so far! Good luck!
@scottiebateman@DaveLBywater Hi Scott, this kind of does already happen all over the UK! There are many Community First Responder (CFRs) groups, BASICS schemes and GoodSAM clinicians who respond to local cardiac arrests with the aim of improving chance of survival. Happy to talk more about it if interested!
