Well, guess what. Today on the 4th of March 1971. 6 hand picked Brighton ambulance men started their training programme programme under the tutelage of Professor Chamberlain (then Dr). That is 53 years since the embryonic start of Paramedicine.

We really wish we'd known this before we recorded this months episode 😆.
#ROSC #StudentParamedic

What an incredible day for Specialist and Advanced Practice South Western Ambulance Service

First observing SP-CCs complete their gateway to ACP-Crit Care thanks to Vicki Brown for having me.

Second meeting future Paramedics at the #StudentParamedicConference . Great organisation from all.

We are aware that some registrants have received automated calls regarding supposed HCPC investigations, and been asked to contact a specified number.

We can confirm that this is vishing scam and that we don't contact registrants in this way!

This months episode focuses on what to do when the pulse comes back...
Join Specialist #Paramedic in Critical Care Josh Barker and EM ACP & RCUK ALS instructor Simon Tutt for a 2 part episode on #ROSC . Part 2 coming soon.

Thanks Lee! One of our favorite episodes that you've chosen to highlight too with the fantastic Andy Collen

Teaching #studentparamedics about back pain in a few weeks. What stuff do people think is beneficial. What did you wish you knew when first qualified. Looking for ideas to include.

A tricky clinical conundrum was resolved today by reviewing the documentation in the ambulance PCR sheet, these documents are worth their weight in gold

Occasionally we do get outside! As we mentioned this month, one of us even got married!
Congratulations Mr and Mrs Barker 🍾

Another important element we discussed in Epsiode 10, lower back pain is bladder dysfunction.
Tom sets out a clear explaination here and some great history questions to ask.

Really useful thread regarding Cauda Equina Syndrome.
We covered this in our Lower Back Pain episode, Ep 10.
Useful bit of revision here.

I should say that updated Standards of Proficiency for ALL 15 professions regulated by the HCPC came into effect today & can be viewed here: hcpc-uk.org/standards/stan…

(I just reviewed the paramedics first because a) they're the most represented profession in FtP & b) I love them)

Careful evaluation of the hands 🤲 is a fundamental part of the physical exam.

What to look for?

A high-yield mega thread 🧵
