Remember look after your #AED #PAD in this winter weather❄️🌬☃️ if its kept outdoors and its not in a heated cabinet - bring it inside - as water gel pads may not function and batteries will drain quicker in these freezing temperatures - look after your AED so it can #savealife

Thank you to @ERC_resus for the opportunity to present.

More plans coming for more presentations.

Congratulations to our ScotSTAR staff at Glasgow Airport who ran a relay of around 240km starting at 9am on Saturday and finishing at 10am on Sunday.

The relay was organised to raise money for @TheStrokeAssoc in a show of support for a colleague.

@cpdme @keatingteam1 Brilliant. Couldn’t get logged on tonight for some reason. Looking forward to catching up on it.

Interesting read, hope the conference is recorded. Love how non technical skills play a valuable role in performance.

[Peter Brennan @BrennanSurgeon]

Giving a human factors talk next month at a critical care conference

Hmm... BMJ study found ICU trainees urine was x2 as concentrated as their patients

Even a 1-2Kg loss of body water can reduce analysis/decision making by 15-20%

Drinking regularly helps maintain performance

@Shorty_Med @sentinelambuk Would love to do this course. Where is it being held?

@Yoyopara1 Very nice toy that. That was always something on my to do list when a TL. Really wanted to better support staff on their return covering anything they had potentially missed no matter how long they were off for. 👏👏👍👍

[Sam Paul @sampaul1980]

@hut_lucy Well done Lucy. Massive achievement

[James Yates @heli_med_james]

Huge changes to triage are afoot!

We're on the brink of an entirely new triage tool for the prehospital setting, and this applies to all emergency responders.

Get ahead of the game and listen to this months episode

RT @Scotambservice: *Please share!* A defibrillator was taken from one of our vehicles in the Hallglen area of Falkirk at 14:10 today whils…

[Sam Paul @sampaul1980]

@Scotambservice @SaveALifeScot @BHFScotland There should be public assess defibs at each ambulance station. Only one available in 9 stations near me. Sas should lead by example.

[Sam Paul @sampaul1980]

@NclActs @Volteral @paswinton maybe something of interest for your teams

JRCALC has already adopted some of the principles of the EXIT strategy so ambulance clinicians should feel empowered to self extricate.
