An extroadinary monarch and an inspiration to us all. We send our condolances to her family loved ones.

Out of respect for our Queen and the great loss to her family, our nation and the world, we are cancelling our discussion session today and will reschedule for another time.

We hear one of the South Western Ambulance Service ambulance stations has achieved 100% #EVADE study training of their ambulance clinicians! Awesome work and a prize on its way to you! Who's next?

Our study team have been out & about again manning Crew Welfare Cars, promoting EVADE & showing training videos during brief refreshment breaks. We're covering more hospitals in coming weeks with treats! (Training/research chats not obligatory!) Come say hi 🙂 #EVADEstudy @NIHRSW

We are hosting an Open Discussion Session for all South Western Ambulance Service staff. Tomorrow at 10am on microsoft teams. Invites are in your inboxes. Looking forward to meeting you!

Excited that as of 1st Nov the Valsalva Assist Device (VAD) will become available to South Western Ambulance Service paramedics for routine treatment of #SVT. In the EVADE Study randomly selected stations will have the VAD stocked on ambulances and devices rolled out to all stations over next 18 months

Nearly 300 participants recruited to the EVADE SVT study by South Western Ambulance Service in just 7 months!Amazing effort! EVADE is designed to see if a simple device can reduce conveyance in SVT. Which station will treat the 300th? SWASFT Research @NIHRSW

Congratulations Honiton South Western Ambulance Service Ambulance station which treated the 300th EVADE SVT patient! Well done. Another 25% of stations will have access to the VAD in March. #accessthepouch #svt #vad images.app.goo.gl/8Y7gFD41PsAGdQ…

Thank you to all the South Western Ambulance Service stations that are contributing to our trial. Mugs on their way to stations that treated the 1st, 100th, 200th and 300th patients, plus a prize draw each month. Who will get 400th? SWASFT Research. Love to see pics of your mugs

As of 1st March, half of all South Western Ambulance Service ambulance stations now have access to the Valsalva Assist Device (VAD) as the routine device to treat #SVT. If it's in the pouch you can use it! #JustaccesstheValsalvapouch SWASFT Research

Dream recruitment continues! Thank you South Western Ambulance Service and SWASFT Research. What an amazing job. 50% of crews can now use the VAD as standard and we hope this will help you in treating your #SVT patients

Very exciting final stage of EVADE Study where by all 100% South Western Ambulance Service ambulance station clinicians will have access to the Valsalva Assist Device to treat #SVT. Great work by SWASFT Research, Exeter Clinical Trials Unit and @NIHRSW to reach this stage. Approaching 600 patients treated!

#TeamSWASFT is trialling a new device for our patients with an abnormally fast heart rhythm which could help reduce hospital admissions across the #SouthWest.💚 Read more about the study here ▶️swast.nhs.uk/welcome/latest…

It's the last day of EVADE Study recruitment! With a predicted recruitment of over 800 participants South Western Ambulance Service and SWASFT Research have done an amazing job! Still time to use the VAD for your #svt patients and if evidence of benefit we hope the device will continue to be available

Thank you to all those that have contributed to the trial and especially to South Western Ambulance Service and SWASFT Research staff. Even in the face of a cyber attack you have smashed it!😍
