@Cannulator@JonnyBrownett Donโt think Iโve ever been concerned about getting wet myself whilst transferring a cold, frail, elderly patient in the rain onto one of these stretchers. But thanks for the advice ๐๐ป
@jacobcoates_1@CDO4 The whole thing is in crisis, regardless of lines/relief/whatever, itโs all broken and Iโm sure your not the only one who feels like this. I am certainly with you there!
Took a break from twitter due to its rising toxicity, came back for CPD and โ5 minsโ in & itโs disappointing to see the fall out between ACPโs & some Drโs surrounding the RCEM statement. Itโs hard not to feel disillusioned thinking that potential colleagues have such a mindset.
Patients + staff are taking > 1 hour to do this journey? @plymouthcc have you got any updates or solutions this cannot just go on for 6 months? A colleague takes as long to get from newton abbot to mannamead as it does from mannamead to @UHP_NHS@JohnnyMercerUK
Iโd be lying if I said I wasnโt feeling a bit emotional! Worked my last ever frontline ambulance shift today as a full time member of SWAST.
So many great memories working on the trucks and with the team in L&D. Thereโs too many people to thank, you all know who you are ๐๐

@PUNCbethanieb Yes! Please please sign the petition AND complete the feedback survey on the UPSU Facebook post. We deserve a PROPER graduation (not a โcelebration type eventโ
Proud of my colleagues responding this evening. Youโre all a credit to the service.
Absolutely shocking events in the city. My doors always open if you want to talk.
A plea: this account is run by frontline NHS staff. After the scenes today in Trafalgar Square our inbox is distressing. You donโt know how much it meant to all of us to see the tidal wave of support on the hashtag #gotyourbackNHS. If you support us please follow and RT ๐๐๐
A first responder who goes 25 years without psychotherapy is like a car that drives 250,000 miles without an oil change. Don't just de-stigmatize. Rather, normalize psychotherapy for first responders, 9-1-1 telecommunicators and health care professionals. #PTSD
If you want to be a paramedic now, you'll need to be prepared for 40k student debt, annual reg fees of ยฃ180, unsocial rotas paying maximum 25% increased rate for 50+% nightshift set up, chronic physical and mental injury and be expected to jump on command. #InvestInUs#payrise
