A bit of training today in the use of specialist vehicles, nice to be only 10 minutes from home as well in a sunny Somerset @stjohnambulance

@RankinC80 @BristolHarbFest @stjohnambulance @centralswsja A much improved weather day today with a great atmosphere from our teams and the public - thanks everyone for helping out

[Gerard Woods @gerardfwoods]

Really proud of the team today who managed to stay up beat and provide a great service in conditions that were challenging and the polar opposite of last year. All the planning paid off - well done everyone

Quick walk of the Bristol Harbour Festival Footprint before things start ahead of heading into event control @Anni_b @RankinC80 @stjohnambulance

@AndyOwen_SJA It’s been great to have you on board, provided a different (but similar) perspective- plus you make a good boss (don’t tell the old boss that though she may get upset)

@JoeShawSJA @stjohnambulance Why have the vehicles moved from Green to yellow? And why the NHS logo I thought SJA were a charity and not part of the NHS

[Gerard Woods @gerardfwoods]

@RankinC80 @stjohnambulance @SJAWestYouth @Anni_b @karenbrookssja Great to pop in and see the team at work with our youth leading the way in a managing the calls and proposing more efficient ways of working.

@Sam_SJA @SJALogisticsBAS @SJA_Logistics @stjohnambulance Positive move - will we see these deployed to other carbon sensitive cities and areas any time soon (plus are the drivers CRU qualified 😃)

[ASP Bristol Airport @ASPAirport]

We hosted our colleagues from Civil Nuclear Constabulary at the Airport again yesterday. Always lovely to see them, working together to keep the Airport safe

This weekend I have the pleasure of leading our amazing @stjohnambulance people at the Bristol Harbour Festival. They have done an outstanding job in challenging conditions supporting the community of Bristol and minimising the impact of the event on the NHS @SJALogisticsBAS

[Gerard Woods @gerardfwoods]

@SJADVNLogistics Thanks for your support in getting this event set up

[Gerard Woods @gerardfwoods]

Good day today getting ready for the ramp up of events,National Event Team call,driving assessment,meet up with @SJALogisticsBAS and survey the west operations centre to be event ready @stjohnambulance @karenbrookssja @Anni_b @PeterHollely @melsjaevents

[Gerard Woods @gerardfwoods]

@rob963m @stjacoo @marksquires6 @stjohnambulance @mantruckbusuk @CraigAHarman @danbevis As long as this forms part of a blended 4x4 and wider fleet solution, so we can meet all our event obligations (when they come back) then this is great. Perfect for AO when it gets a bit slippy as it will save them taking a real 4x4 out to pick up patients in a few cm of snow

[Gerard Woods @gerardfwoods]

Oh and guess the SJA Building in my profile photo 🤣

[Gerard Woods @gerardfwoods]

Great bit of team building this evening although I’m sure some of the questions were rigged @Anni_b @AndyOwen_SJA @mel_brackley @melsjaevents @MikeFGibbons1 @carolinefperry @Chrislittle1963 @fionac1770
