When the family start playing a game of operation, I wonder if it counts for Anatomy/Physiology CPD? ๐ค๐คฃ๐คฃ

We understand tensions can be high when calling for medical help, but please remember that those on the other end of the phone are doing their very best. They are people with feelings... just like you.
Please #HelpUsHelpYou
Unfortunately, many of our 999/111 call assessors are reporting being verbally abused by callers.
Colleagues in our control rooms are doing their very best to ensure patients get the treatment they require and do not deserve to be abused...
"The amount of verbal abuse we've had to endure recently is awful. We're doing our best with what we have. The service is under immense pressure, so please do your bit." - Nami, 999 Call Assessor
Wow! I'm overwhelmed with the comments and messages from people checking in to see if I'm ok! ๐ฑ Thank you! ๐
I was given the night off last night and took a break away from social media
I'm starting to feel myself again and realising that #itsoktonotbeok ๐ฅ
Happy Birthday to me! ๐๐๐
This tired face has just finished a very busy night shift in #Shropshire!
Time for an end of shift coffee and a drive home... I can hear my bed calling ๐ฃ๏ธ๐ข
