A really great week going through the St John Ambulance England operational ambulance driving course, 4x4 ambulance course and A2 driver educator course ready for Q4 roll out. A useful week of CPD and course development 😎 St John Ambulance’s Operations Team

Briefing time, but for what….

It’s been a really busy but rewarding day at RAF Honington flying cadets on their annual camp. 1OS (Akrotiri) Sqn ATC 🇨🇾 you were amazing! 😄 RAF Air Cadets 611 Volunteer Gliding Squadron

Fantastic news from AOC22 Group. Having benefited from the Air Cadet Pilot Scheme myself, I’m really pleased to hear it’s making a return

Late to the game, but used the new tread-depth keyring yesterday when doing a VDI. This is the kind of simple ergonomic change that makes a big difference to road safety. No need for crews to hunt for a gauge or (worse) guesstimate how much tread is left! Thanks Tom Willis & team!

This evening I delivered the third training session to our first cohort of driving investigators, discussing investigation strategy, setting up an investigation & questioning technique A really engaged & enthusiastic cohort of St John Ambulance England people, eager to drive change

Imagine…

A day away from St John Ambulance England today, visiting 2FTS National Air & Space Camp at RAF Syerston. The RAF Air Cadets allowed me to achieve my PPL in my teens, so it only felt right brining an aircraft to form part of the static display. Great also to talk to cadets about all things 611 Volunteer Gliding Squadron

Air Cadets Fly High (Literally!) 🌟 Have you heard? 4 Royal Air Force Air Cadets have flown solo in a Grob Tutor, the first air cadets ever to do so.

A car that reacts and wakes you up when you fall asleep at the wheel.

Ready with a fantastic team tonight at Norwich NTE! #TeamNorfolk

A great call with St John Ambulance England incident review group this afternoon, sharing findings from trend analysis of driving incidents over the last 12 months. Good to see such keen interest from leaders across the charity with lessons learnt being applied elsewhere in the charity
