@NatashaMDay That emergency situation sounds very familiar with my 3 year old!
Unfortunately it was a Cat 3 and we had to wait 8hours for a call back due to hospitals are full๐คฃ๐คฃ
@DHSCgovuk That sounds great however what about having the same deal for student paramedics.
More and more university places but no increase in newly qualified paramedic jobs for them to go in to.
Feels like the ambulance service is forgotten about again
@TheTrojanMedic That would be a fine thing but unfortunately we don't actually get time to train ourselves and our students let alone interagency training.
@jbrannan23 It is a sad state that skills are removed from paramedics. Its about not having the protected training time to maintain competency. The NHS ambulance service most training is self motivated in our own time and expense except the mandatory e-learning which doesn't really teach.
@Jon_Para_ODP@TheLeeMcLaren@TheRealRead I'd love to be able to allow my students to be the crew. Unfortunately my trust has decided that University students MUST be in the back, As cannot sit in the front on Blue Light drives to jobs as they not trained response drivers so cannot assist with driving safety! ๐คท๐คฆBonkers
@NatashaMDay Its a shame that no one (except enhanced care team) seems to carry paediatric size kit probably due to cost.
When I spoke to a tutor in my trust all they said was vent faster or squeeze the bag abit more....
@MedicMiddle It would be great if we had easy access to training kit on our station. But the kit is locked away in a store room and only CTM can access and use the kit.
Such a shame as it just creates a negative environment where people don't want to cos it's too much hassle to do it
@cosfordairshow That's it birthday treat for me and my good lady and it will be her first ever airshow. Now I just need to find some ear defenders that will fit our 2year old son for his first airshow.
I'll make them in to airshow fans..
@EM_RESUS That is a Cake Fine right there for saying the Q word. Section 19.1(a) of the Cake Offences Act
In ambulance world we use The CakeLegislator to enforce such things.
@CakeLegislator Can the Ambulance Cake Fines be used in hospital or does that require a legislation change
@JBPara999 That's brilliant Thankyou. Gives me something to work towards. I'm just finishing my NQP after been delayed getting my reg due to Covid restrictions down here in WMAS.
Are there any courses or things I need to know that would help me build towards a PCC application?
