We’re using in-situ simulation - adult, child and infant - to drill our teams before the event starts. As well as clinical preparation, this familiarises our volunteers with each other, the environment, and local processes, and helps us to identify and fix any latent issues 👌

Just some of the fantastic healthcare professionals who have given up their weekend to support #BrightonPride 🦸🦸‍♂️

It’s been a great weekend as Event Clinical Lead for Brighton Pride, supported and mentored by the wonderful Hannah Pool - who’s also a star baker!

Massive thank you to ALL of the St John Ambulance England volunteers at Lewes Bonfire, for their contributions to great clinical care throughout. From first aiders to ambulance crew to healthcare professionals, logistics to control to command teams, it made my clinical lead role easy!
