Don’t ask children to be brave
It says
- suck it up
- it’s going to hurt
- you have no choice
Nobody needs to be brave…but you can commend them afterwards for courage.
Active distraction is better than watching!

SO many great tips beyond APLS from Matt Edwards:
1. Have a FO line
2. You need more nurses than you think
3. More SIM Education on the scooped, the dumped and the unrecognised
4. Stab checks for teens
5. If you need the scan, get the scan.
6. Lego teaching!

Children are not small adults
But they’re a BIT like small adults
Don’t be scared of managing them in the prehospital environment

Busy week last week. ATLS in Harrogate (Leeds Trust), with this amazing bunch of friends, then catch up with friends in Tyne and Wear. Thanks to the team providing ATLS- great support and encouragement. @sjd1812 Funnily realised I already follow some of the faculty after. 🤦♀️😳
We have not done all THIS for a measly, below inflation 5%.
This is still a pay cut. We must #SAYNO to this awful offer.
Retweet if you agree NHS staff deserve a Fair Deal!

The bit I don’t understand is why no one telling the public that their expectations of the #NHS are simply too high. There needs to be an element of self care first for many. GP appointments are available, as are A&E services, but we cannot cater for the worried well.
🚨LEAKED🚨 NHS England data show that long waits are worse than ever imagined. From January-June this year there were 592,000 12-hour waits from time of arrival. Only 120,693 12-hour waits from decision to admit were reported by NHS England https://t.co/QG68r8WEwr

@HMC_School Reception making their own worry dolls for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek
We used sticks & wool to create our mini friends to provide a listening ear to when we’re feeling a bit worried… we love how every one is unique, just like us 💚 #forestschool#outdoorlearning
Ta rah bab to ACP-ing for 10.5 years in ED!! Exciting times ahead trailblazing at a new SDEC with a new team. Strong leaders, right team, right place!!
I’m a Children’s Emergency Specialist - see me in the Emergency Department if your child is having a seizure, is unrousable or has a deformed arm following an injury.
But there are other Specialists as well, such as GPs & Pharmacists who can help with rashes, coughs & fevers
@HMC_School Reception observing the changes at #forestschool that have happened over the Easter holidays. Dandelion clocks, bluebells, buttercups, return of the leaves & our saplings have grown so much… they’re nearly as tall as us!!! #outdoorlearning#nature
