Today we completed a full circle of care for one of our patients. A t.crit IPATS t/f into #PICU@CHI_Ireland followed 6/7 later by a t/f to @KingsCollegeNHS with @IrishAirCorps & finally via our Repat team back to @CUH_Cork to finish recovery. Right care, time & place @HSELive

And we’re off again for Day 2 of the @TraumaCareUK conference in #Belfast with Paul Dolan, David Percival and d Laura O’Callaghan describing the role of Critical Care Paramedics in both countries
