@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 full🤣🤣

@Defib_Dave_YAS @yas_charity @YorksAmbulance Well done Dave and the team !! That's an amazing effort and a nice lump of cash in the charity pot.

[John Myers @WombleMedic83]

@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.

[John Myers @WombleMedic83]

@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.

[John Myers @WombleMedic83]

@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! 🤷🤦Bonkers

@NatashaMDay Popped a vote in for you Tash

[John Myers @WombleMedic83]

@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....

[John Myers @WombleMedic83]

@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

[John Myers @WombleMedic83]

@NatashaMDay Oh no poor little doggo
Sending lots of love to you both hope she gets better soon xx

[John Myers @WombleMedic83]

Such a great loss to the SJA family

Rest in Peace xx

@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..

[John Myers @WombleMedic83]

@HartParamedic Are these HART taster days and vacancies open to external applications or is it restricted to current NWAS paramedics??

[John Myers @WombleMedic83]

@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

[John Myers @WombleMedic83]

@MeechSteph1 @SECAmbulance @CumbriaUni @ParamedicsUK @AACE_org Congratulations Steph. The Top up is always a slog coming back to Uni.
Hopefully I won't be far behind you competing my top up on the same course

[John Myers @WombleMedic83]

@poppygibsonuk So sorry to hear she's died. But you will have given her a great time for the month she was free with you x

[John Myers @WombleMedic83]

@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?

[John Myers @WombleMedic83]

@JBPara999 What's the requirements to be able to apply for the HEMS / PCC role ??
And how often do you recruit to these roles?

[John Myers @WombleMedic83]

@JBPara999 That looks like a great training framework for the advanced roles.

Can't wait for vacancies to open up so I can come back to Yorkshire
