Fascinating, and great job by all - 2 large trials that answer an important question.
Glad that we reserved a decision on a broader rollout of IO in our service (from just CCPs to all paramedics) while awaiting the results of PARAMEDIC3.

@em_bulance You had the courage to try. It’s ok that it didn’t work out the way you had hoped or planned. Always put yourself first and do what suits your needs and your personal values.
Never feel like you have to explain yourself to anyone! ✌️
It’s an adventure chapter in your life story📚
Paramedics of all settings, I implore you, if you were sending a patient to ED please do not tell them they *will* receive an investigation/treatment or be seen by X specialist. I encounter this often and it can lead to conflict. I suspect same is true for referring back to GP.
@em_bulance You have to do what makes you happy. A wonderful life experience in the end - live it up! Your paramedic career is still there for you when you get back, with a whole new set of stories and experiences to share.

Remember when CPGs were gospel and we never (really) questioned them? Well, this article by @BFlanagan73 and colleagues reminds us again, just how important it is to appraise the evidence. Fascinating read 👀👇

The behaviour of individuals under pressure in this instance did not need better protocols
What was needed was for paramedics to operate within a community of practice where ethical decision making and patient advocacy were a cornerstone of professional culture
@em_bulance It’s honest, and honesty is so valuable. Thank you for sharing your experiences, even more so since it hasn’t been all roses.
And giving something new a go, is never an embarrassment - it is only ever brave.
“I’m glad I’m here, even though this is stressful and frightening... I’m glad I’m here because there is an opportunity to do good. Because I am as much the right person as anybody else, & I will deploy my skills as best I can” https://t.co/UNjuugyVI2 #overcome
@em_bulance Totally feel you @em_bulance
Try to just focus on the experience of exploring Canada, and how this has expanded your world view in your paramedic practice ❤️

So it’s time to start planning, researching and prepping our next online course!
We’ve wanted to cover ECGs for a long time. Let us know if you think this is a good choice for 2024, or even suggestions for a different topic…

When NOT to stop resuscitation
Sometimes we stop too early. Sometimes we go on too long. How do we pick the ones we should go the extra mile on? This 6 min excerpt from a talk really comes from the heart
This is the concept that drives everything I do
