Last night my wife rang me and told me she was in casualty. I watched the whole 50 min episode - she didn't appear once. She still isn't home and I am starving. Anya Brick Cop©️ Happy-ish cop Andrea Q

Popped down to Bexhill seafront today to observe Blue Response Lifeguard training. Adding to the safety of beachgoers across our coastline.

Spending my day on the South East Coast Ambulance Seasonal Demand Unit #SDU #OperationRadcott at Rye, covering the rural community. Since restarting on 29th March, there’s been around 50 responses in the area, halving some of the times taken to reach patients. #ImprovingOutcomes

An enjoyable #Radcott shift for South East Coast Ambulance, calls were few but public engagement was high. The day ended by helping a kind lady who’d found this abandoned baby bird gasping for breath and dehydrated - Water & 1ml syringe helped! Thanks to RSPCA (England & Wales) for attending.

80% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen at home. Knowing vital CPR skills can help save the life of someone you care about. Our immersive Lifesaver scenarios throw you right into the action to learn lifesaving skills. Learn more: lifesaver.org.uk

#FloatToLive: - Tilt your head back with ears submerged - Relax - try to control your breathing - Move your hands to help stay afloat - Once over the initial shock, call for help or swim to safety - Call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard Remember it. Share it.

⚠️We are currently responding to a serious RTC in South Street, Meopham, Kent, reported to us shortly after 3.30pm today (22 May). We have sent multiple resources to the scene. Please help us manage the incident by only calling 999 if you are facing an emergency.

The UK lags behind other countries in CPR awareness and currently less than one in ten survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Our #EverySecondCounts report offers recommendations of how we can change this by closing inequality gaps in resuscitation.

First Anniversary - So we decided to visit Pooh Bridge at Hartfield!

During May our team of volunteers was booked on for 440 hours and visited 50 patients. Thanks team, and to all who support us

Never judge a book by its cover. Today, on 2 calls I responded to, we received help from the homeless community, many of whom fight alcohol dependency & the lifelong impacts. They demonstrated raw care and compassion, without hesitation. Never judge a book by its cover…

Anyone can learn the skills to save a life! Take just a few minutes of your day to watch our short video and learn vital #CPR skills.

A beautiful sunny day in Sussex, time for an South East Coast Ambulance visit to Catsfield School in support of community led first aid education for year 6 pupils.

On the journey home after the first The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh Diploma in Major Incident Management exams in Edinburgh. Taking the chance to visit a couple of landmarks and relax. Whatever the outcome, this has been an enjoyable weekend.

⚠️Please be aware of the latest full closure of the M25 (Junction 10-11) this coming weekend. Long diversion routes in place. Please may way for any emergency vehicles looking to progress through possible congestion.

16 years wearing pips to work, it’s time for a break.

A beautiful evening at Bexhill’s De La Warr Pavilion ready for a sunset film screening on the side of the building. #AnnualLeave #Decompressing

If any of my South East Coast Ambulance colleagues are interested in joining Hastings Pride this coming Sunday (25th August) for procession and fun events opposite Hastings Make Ready, drop me a line! 🙂

Interesting. I refused to pay up to £1,000 to Qualsafe to appeal a spurious complaint which was not investigated and now they refuse me the opportunity to reinstate training qualifications. Disgusting.

An excellent and informative day at the inaugural South East Coast Ambulance #Resilience Conference in Crawley today. Hard work by the team to put this together with a strong set of speakers throughout the day. Well worth attending and looking forward to future conferences. #EPRR
