@spippytea If you’re thinking about doing it, then I’d say the sky is the limit and 100% go for it. You’ll never know if you never try☺️ you don’t have to become a para you could work your way up through ECA/ECSW —-> EMT or Para. We can’t remember everything it comes back when needed tho 🙌🏻
@Nat_O_Byrne I have been in a similar situation previously, we have access to a clinical advice line with whom are Band6 and above Para/Nurse/APUC/APCC/Doctors. It’s better to contact someone else and have a third party involvement than to leave the job feeling unsatisfied/like it was unsafe.
@HMRCcustomers@HMRCgovuk@HMRCpressoffice How does one get ahold of you to sort tax payment issues if no one ever answers the phone and the automated service states that you are too busy and cuts you off despite numerous calls to your service?
@Sparksgreenwood I don’t have a perm crew mate, where I work is like being on relief 24/7. Sometimes I get the same person for 1-2 out of my set or I’ll get 4 different people during my set. I don’t mind it’s nice to work with other people and see just how differently everyone works🤟🏻
CPR is not a treatment for #ordinarydying. Every instance of futile CPR - which is what will happen if nobody has sorted out the protection of a DNACPR for someone whose life is coming to an end - is a tragedy. Please, doctors, nurses, patients, families - #havetheconversation.
@owenmorgs The only thing I could find was this.. https://t.co/FCeCEDBADa which wasn’t very helpful the randomised controlled trial was only 60 adults and it was in relation to hand surgery.
I’d be interested to see the literature to support this?
Colleagues in London!!! 🚨
Last night a paramedic from my complex was on a night shift when her car was broken into and her personal belongings stolen. If anyone sees the bag around the Shepherd’s Bush/W12 area let me know.
Completely unacceptable.
Spoke to a junior doctor who tells me he has frequent nightmares, has witnessed patients die preventable deaths in under-resourced hospitals, says every bone in his body aches, drained from long hours, can't spend time with family, regularly skips meals & can barely afford rent.
@GlenwrightCook So where I work (privately) for a trust all privates unless paramedics out of their NQP have to call the clinical advice line to speak to someone highier paid to get authorisation for us to discharge on scene or discharge the patient from our care so they can make their own way.
@GlenwrightCook In my area their is one hospital that allows offload into the waiting room if deemed suitable the rest it’s literally a case of you can’t put them in the waiting room you have to wait until it’s your turn to offload..
@GlenwrightCook Sometimes it’s out of our control and we end up conveying patients as it sometimes takes 2+ hrs to get the call back all in that time EOC are GB’ing for uncovered C1’s and immediate response back up from RRV’s. The system doesn’t work or make sense.
