After a years hiatus from TWITTER (I refuse to use its new name)…
my first post back is of some not so light reading ahead of next weeks @ResusCouncilUK OOH NLS course 🤰🏼👶🏼🤓
Don’t judge my snack requirements 😇

Shoutout to @Ldn_Ambulance for looking out for us less local crews too! Stocked up on cold drinks and ice lollies before an even hotter afternoon 🥵

All ED staff - If the department is too busy, did you know that more space can be created by moving patients out of ED and creating additional bed space elsewhere? Hopefully this info can now fix the problem. You're welcome. Ps- pls do it immediately. Kind regards, NHS England.
Just a reminder to all nurses and doctors everywhere that placing a hypotensive patient in a head down position isn’t good for their airway, their breathing, their intracranial pressure (and hence their cerebral perfusion) and doesn’t usually help their blood pressure
Another busy day leading to another challenging evening for all our staff as they work hard to prioritise help for people in a serious or life-threatening condition Pls keep 999 available for emergencies and make use of https://t.co/ljoQEUQfBn for health advice. Photo @_IssyJones
I try to bite my tongue on #Twitter so today I’m slightly ashamed to have become a #keyboardwarrior… 🤭
Just can’t stand people encouraging lies to 999 to get an #ambulance 🚑faster!
PLEASE…
❌ Don’t be selfish
❌ Don’t put others at risk

@Mikeypoodle@Sladester100@chillibean2018 If people didn’t lie about their symptoms to 999, we could be there quicker for the people that really need us. Please don’t get sarcastic and insult someone online for asking you to make wiser decisions and use the #NHS appropriately. #BeBetter
@chillibean2018@19Hope60 Yes sepsis is life threatening, but we are medical professionals and every call is prioritised based on the urgency of the patient. Your frustration is perfectly valid but we will always be as quick as we can 😊 I hope things improve for you soon!
@19Hope60@chillibean2018 That’s understandable! Just trying our best and hoping if people are more appropriate when calling us then things might improve 😊
