@Luas With temperatures increasing year on year, are there plans to introduce air conditioning on trams?

[Wayne Meehan @haribowayne]

@Luas do your trams not have the ability to blow cool air into the carriage??

@IrishRail is the Westport to Heuston delayed? Sat waiting in Castlerea with no one around to assist? Cheers.

@IrishRail @TFIupdates Hi - I’m guessing no service from Castlerea then? And no bus?

[Allied Health Professions Federation NI @ahpfni]

A vital leadership role in @WesternHSCTrust for Nursing, Midwifery AND AHPs.
It “provides an opportunity to join a corporate management team committed to a culture of collective leadership”. And yet leaders from all 13 Allied Health Professions are prevented from applying.

@IrishRail Maybe you should have emailed people who have seats booked and now don’t have one.

[Wayne Meehan @haribowayne]

@damo3633 @WYFRS Enjoy your retirement Damian. All the best

@Alice__Cochrane @ParamedicBarry @NIAS999 Great to see a positive policy change from NIAS to allow all university students to go out observing and get a taste of Paramedic life. Good work!!

[Wayne Meehan @haribowayne]

@BrennanSurgeon @RCSI_Irl Talk was fantastic Peter. Thank you.

The HUGS team is officially ready to travel! 🚑Our own @mrsot13 and @Doyler726 gave some information sessions for the new @DubFireBrigade paramedic class and family members of retained firefighters in @RoscommonFire this week! Where should we go next?

[HUGS@Home @HUGSatHOME_RCSI]

Do you wish to be more prepared to support your loved ones coming home from a bad call? Do you wonder on what to say to your mates when they are struggling? Learn ways to support each other with HUGS@Home training in April! https://t.co/pKYR8HV5J2

@DeScoite Cheers

[Wayne Meehan @haribowayne]

@DeScoite Have you got a link to this? I live in Castlerea.

[Wayne Meehan @haribowayne]

@DeScoite I’d also say that qualified Paramedics don’t bother applying (and seek other avenues of employment) as they know how difficult the system/process is.

[Wayne Meehan @haribowayne]

@allza1903 @Markgreen433 @ShaunLintern @IainDale @GMB_union @NWAmbulance They ask if the person is breathing. If not it automatically goes Cat 1. If they are then they ask more detailed questions to determine what category.
