Earlier this week, I responded to a @GoodSamApp alert with a couple of friends.
Early recognition ✅ambulance called
Early CPR✅ from first aiders on scene
Early defibrillation ✅ from us resulting in ROSC
Early Advanced care ✅ ambulance on scene in 15 minutes and a dr in 20.

@TJCoats @tscquizzato Also, the emphasis on teaching that agonal resps and seizure activity is common is important - it reinforces what should be the norm in first aid training but all too often is missed

[Patrick @mrpatrickrevans]

@TJCoats @tscquizzato The suggestion of public CCTV recognition of OHCA seems great - if a reliable set of indicators can be generated which flags for rapid human review, the potential for time savings could be significant!

Productive weekend at @JSCSCShrivenham planning for @airtattoo 2026 with @aircadets!

@keatingteam1 Is there any website I can share the link to, for my LR colleagues?

[East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust @EMASNHSTrust]

East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EMAS) has this evening declared a critical incident (as at 18.00 hours, Monday 6 January 2025).

More information on what this means is on our website: https://t.co/jAOwteKGhr

@absoluteradio do you know you’re still playing last week’s Christmas cash countdown advert, saying £400K (this week is £500K, I think?)

(PS, can I have a free entry for telling you?)

[Patrick @mrpatrickrevans]

@WatchAndSee83 @NatashaMDay Agreed, IF there is a need for an ambulance then the doctor is absolutely justified in calling for one. I think @NatashaMDay is more inviting doctors to carefully consider if there is a need, rather than complaining about being called when there is one.

@RobDotHutton What would help? Maybe if people had enough spare time to volunteer for these things?
It feels like more people could be interested in helping others, although I find it hard to draw this conclusion without seeing action on the first suggestion - people simply don’t have time!

[Patrick @mrpatrickrevans]

@RobDotHutton Honestly, as someone who is involved in 4 of the 5 categories (and multiple ways for one of them), I don’t think many of the options are roles suitable for mandated service. It’s far better to have willing volunteers, who come into the roles with enthusiasm and interest.

[Patrick @mrpatrickrevans]

Not quite what I had planned for today!

[Patrick @mrpatrickrevans]

@EMAS_TimH Well done mate! Sounds a great role for you!

[Patrick @mrpatrickrevans]

@EMAS_TimH Almost missed you beneath the camera frame…

[Patrick @mrpatrickrevans]

@WeeMacAbish Definitely try and stay up! You’ll only feel worse tomorrow night if you don’t - a nap pre-night shift is never enough (imo)

[Patrick @mrpatrickrevans]

@Chris_medicpara @CooneenGroup I actually quite like the new trousers - much better than the new shirts, certainly!

[Patrick @mrpatrickrevans]

thanks @EMAS_SamJ for coming in to talk about @GMB_union to our ASC/Trainee Tech cohort today!

[Patrick @mrpatrickrevans]

@EMAS_TimH That looks very interesting! How did you get into it?

[Patrick @mrpatrickrevans]

@sophiegiltinan @loddyy24 @TM5006941 It annoys me that it says “SBP and pulse” and then defines the values in the opposite order

[Patrick @mrpatrickrevans]

@owenmorgs @EMASNHSTrust Sadly, not mine! I do have a similar collection albeit in a different order, and still working for the last one!
