@TheLeeMcLaren When I started as a paramedic five years ago, I had difficulties with cannulation until I found https://t.co/mvgjAWLjcT . Paid for the course and definitely had a better strike rate.

@Cannulator I'm no expert but this may be handy. Think dressing type would be dependant upon level of exudate if any.

Here are some tips on doing Resus well. It's taken from a handout from an ED education evening in November 2019, but still applies

The main goal was to empower the whole team to own resus and feel empowered to speak up and drive quality and safety

Quick Free Airway Education!

Taking time to correctly position a patient is, in my view, the NUMBER ONE way to improve your chances of successful airway management

I've made a short (5 min) free lesson

Why do I keep booking @Qantas ? Booked flts from CBR to CHC with 2h25m stopover in BNE. CBR-BNE xxld, resched with a 5h stopover. Called QF and rqstd alt flts either via Syd or Mel to CHC. They offer a CBR/SYD/BNE/CHC alternative 🤦‍♂️that leaves earlier than resched flt

I’ve seen a couple tweets asking where are the men who support reproductive freedom.

If you see this tweet and you support reproductive freedoms as a man, like a retweet.

A first for me today, a patient calling for an ambulance from a&e waiting room, returning home to meet us as they thought they would be seen faster taken in by ambulance. YOU WILL NOT BE SEEN ANY FASTER!

2. First order of business is to find yourself a wolfpack.

These are people who understand you and can be a sounding board as you try new things (or a shoulder to cry on when you have a set back).

They are often not on your immediate team.
