A pleasure to host observer Sam on today’s shift @EastAngliAirAmb . No curse of the observer with plenty of flying and some prehospital critical care. We even managed an on-time finish too!

End of an era: Captain Matt’s last shift @EastAngliAirAmb . Good luck with your new chapter, you’ll definitely be missed though !

Thanks to the management and staff @bedfordlodge for hosting @EastAngliAirAmb for lunch. Amazing food and service!

Night HEMS training time @EastAngliAirAmb

[Andy Bates @andy_bates_]

Another day of learning. Great ethos of the team @EssexFireBike who provide free training to bikers to reduce the incidence of death and serious injuries on the roads. Bravo !

We don’t need no stinking badges! Another day @EastAngliAirAmb with @DrPaulRees

[Andy Bates @andy_bates_]

@riches_rob Congratulations Rob. Aside from your huge professional achievement, your appointment also demonstrates a really positive commitment to advanced practice within EEAST 👍💪

I don’t really enjoy gardening; it gets a bit industrial at times! However, when you get that evening golden hour, after a day of spectacular autumn sunshine, it makes it all worthwhile!

When you get non-stop rain on your day off…you don’t want to get wet having lunch. Improvise, adapt and overcome!

A pleasure to welcome Tobias (from Austria) to @EastAngliAirAmb today. I last saw him when I was @EHAAT_ and he did a 6 week elective there. It was good to show how we can support our colleagues @EastEnglandAmb .

Great to be able to welcome Tobias to @EastAngliAirAmb today. I last me him in 2019 when I was working @EHAAT_ and he did his 6 week elective placement there. Good to here about the PHEM system in Austria and show how we provide prehospital critical care.

Standard LUCAS position versus ~5cm lower and slightly off centre, ETCO2 increased 2kPa. Are we even getting the essentials right every time during cardiac arrest? Increasing need for precision rather than algorithmic medicine

Thanks to the guys @NSRAPT for a great day of learning on today’s #saferider course. Lifelong learning in action 👍

Busy weekend @EastAngliAirAmb. Afternoon sunshine over London after the last job of the day yesterday.

[Rob Major @phemDM]

Beautiful morning in East Anglia

[Rob Major @phemDM]

A huge achievement for Neil through years of hard work, a huge asset for EAAA driving forward national paramedic practise, and proud to call him a good friend.
