JUST IN: Saftey of #nonconveyance in paediatric patients. Adverse events were rare. Vital sign derangements and attendance by paramedics with higher prior exposure to non-transports were associated with poorer outcomes. Emily Nehme Ziad Nehme #OpenAccess dx.doi.org/10.1136/emermeโ€ฆ

The UK ambulance system has fallen, with the entire NHS not far behind. Itโ€™s not our fault, but weโ€™re struggling to watch as our colleagues and community suffer. The #ambulancestrike is about much more than pay, itโ€™s about saving the service.

Stay safe during the #AmbulanceStrikes today. Just remember itโ€™s about far more than an increase in pay. We want safe working conditions for all our colleagues and better outcomes for our patients.

Today my colleagues and I donated Christmas presents to the local paediatric ward for those who are in hospital during the festive period or unable to afford a gift.

Polishing your service boots in preparation for a colleagues funeral is a humbling experience. Life is too short, be grateful for the little things and always be kind.

It was an honour to say goodbye today. Thank you for the reminder that our green family (and emergency service family) is truly like no other. Blues and twos all the way!

Yesterday was my 3rd anniversary with London Ambulance; this year didnโ€™t start how I wanted it to after I dislocated my knee. Today is day 84 of recovery. This time off has given me a new appreciation for my job and colleagues! I cannot wait to get back out there! ๐Ÿš‘

I have the privilege of an observer shift with London's Air Ambulance Charity next week; to say Iโ€™m excited is an understatement! ๐Ÿš Just the career motivation I needed right now- time to put my head down and refocus on my goals!

Twitter, meet Tilly! Please donโ€™t be fooled by her cuteness- she ๐Ÿ’ฉ on the rug and ๐Ÿ˜ข all night! Itโ€™s okay though because sheโ€™s named after the best football team in the world- CommBank Matildas!
