@ConstableChaos Easy answers from someone who now fits them… various “amplifiers” have had the standard wattage dropped from 100W to 60/80W to reduce complaints and cost.
Cheap is never better. Side by side a cheap setup to an expensive and it’s a world of difference.

@NHSR_EKU @HSJnews @the_tpa Has the strap been added after the fact to assist shorter persons close the door?

@NatashaMDay @JessicaSpara 5.11s… knee pads are an extra but worth it in the “EMS” trousers. Angled pockets, big enough to fit anything you need on shift in the cargos, the material is fantastic and keeps (me anyway) cooler than my issued trousers. Well worth the investment.

Got assaulted at work.

Clear CCTV footage of the incident. Police not interested as they’d left the scene 🙄

@TheRealRead Plenty where we beat the car or second crew and stood them down when not as given or no resus attempt required.

[Jeremy Andrews @JerryA99]

@TheRealRead I don’t think I’ve ever been to an arrest with only one DCA either running or already on scene… maybe I was just lucky and we had excellent CFRs as well.

@George_Brbr I was in a meeting with an undisclosed trust as part of an event SAG collaboration. They were very clear that should a mass casualty happen at that event (inner, v large city) to not expect a single NHS resource for 45minutes+…

@JessicaSpara Every two maximum but depends on the jobs even if not visibly dirty. If I’ve had any proper jobs I’ll change regardless of visible dirt

Been Back on the tools this week donating my time to support an Ukraine project for 4x4 ambulances.

@Carl_A_Lane Long standing volunteers became disheartened and left. People that had been there for 20+ years deciding it wasn’t a community organisation anymore.

[Jeremy Andrews @JerryA99]

@Carl_A_Lane 10+ years ago I was a volunteer whilst studying and working privately. I was removed from volunteering after they found out about my other work. The unit I was in was very community orientated but as things regionalised the community aspect quickly disappeared and a lot of the

A bit of snow and everyone forgets how to drive apparently!

To anyone on shift this festive day, I hope it’s calm, collected and a great day. Respect to anyone who’s working today in our emergency services.

@AnthonyStorms7 @NWAmbulance You’re a few loaves short of a dozen aren’t you? Go back to chasing storms and leave things you don’t understand alone.

@EEAST_OpSupport @EastEnglandAmb @mantruckbusuk That sitsafe chair looks brilliant. Hopefully something that can become standard across the country as opposed to alternate methods!

@NatashaMDay My better half has always pretty much from 4-6 weeks post op had irritation & soreness.
Nurses said was “one of those things” and we get OTC hydrocortisone cream for it.

@statto95 Cut out convenience food, no more meal deals or takeaways 🤷‍♂️

6lbs in 3 weeks lost with nothing but a diet change. Only another 5 stone to go!

@NatashaMDay The stories from across my time in the NHS & private sector is enough to write a book on. From managers hushing up genuine FTP issues in exchange to mentors grooming students.
