On #InternationalParamedicsDay I’m proud to be able to help people both as an ambulance service paramedic and as a volunteer paramedic with liveshq

The last sunset of my twenties, in a beautiful place with beautiful people.

“Trade unionists are greedy for wanting a pay rise? The profits of the top FTSE companies have gone up 73% since 2019. When are we going to ask if they’re greedy?” - RMT’s Eddie Dempsey

Say it again.

Best news I’ve heard all week.

Nearly that time.

Last week’s completion of the Resuscitation Council UK Generic Instructor Course and the mandatory celebratory nandos and beers with AB. Cheers! 🍻

LIVES & Trauma Care Charity UK are planning to hold a national community first responder conference in early 2023. We want to hear from first responders across the UK to find out what topics you would like to see within the programme. We would love to hear your thoughts below.👇🏻 #LIVES

Over 40 front line Ambulance staff in 1 county was forced into withholding their Labour last night!! NOT due to #strikes but due to a lack of Capacity in Hospitals - those crews couldn’t attend ANY calls not even those deemed as ‘life and limb cover’ #NHS

Had no one else thought of this?

Over the weekend, a LIVES paramedic supported a East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust crew with a complex end-of-life patient. They administered medication to ease symptoms, and arranged follow up care from community nursing teams, which allowed the patient to stay at home comfortably 💛 #LIVES

Not the air support that was expected…

Words by Professor Sir Keith Porter on ‘why trauma patients die’ today at the liveshq conference #livesconf24

And this is partly why the ambulance services are in such crisis. One of these roles requires a BSc and a high level of responsibility for patient care and safety. The other includes an ~£8500 retention premium…

Old and new. Backdrop of the hospital clock tower against liveshq Medic 50 on standby. The tower’s overlooked some change in care since its building in 1950. Bringing critical care out of hospital and to the patient’s side

Delivering critical care literally across the length and breadth of Lincolnshire with 3 allocations and 2 incidents attended, starting the day in the deep South and finishing up in the very North.

A little bit chuffed to have graduated from University of Lincoln, UK with a Postgraduate Certificate in Pre-Hospital Critical Care. Beautiful backdrop to graduate in Lincoln Cathedral and Lincoln Castle

If your A level results are disappointing, don’t worry. I got a C and two Us and here I am today, installing lights for a helicopter landing pad in my garden.
