It is with huge sadness that we confirm the death of a paramedic involved in a collision on the A21, near Tonbridge, Kent, yesterday evening (5 January 2022). A full statement is available here: bit.ly/3zvU0p8
Our CFRs arrive on scene within a few minutes, often before an #Ambulance arrives and can provide lifesaving first aid treatment, increasing the patient’s chances of survival.
The advert should go live on the 4th January on the NHS Jobs website: jobs.nhs.uk/

It was fascinating being taught by true experts in theatres @Derriford_Hosp & realising how poorly us as paramedics are educated about essential airway management, particularly facemask ventilation. Therefore here's a little 🧵 that others might find useful on things I picked up:
Speedy action can save lives. We’ve kitted out 500 of our vehicles with portable defibrillators, as well as teaming up with @TheBHF to train our staff in CPR ❤️

I'm slowly returning to Twitter after some time away.. 🙂 I have been busy making more time for myself, my family and uni study/exams.. 🎓
Oh and the occasional croc too!.. 🐊
It’s likely to be a busy weekend on the roads as people get out and about to enjoy the weather ☀️
Please be kind and considerate to each other and stay safe.

My wife is immunosuppressed. She can’t afford to catch Covid, so please wear a face mask if you meet her.
What’s that? You don’t think you would recognise my wife?
Oh, then you’d better wear one anyway, just in case.
That’s how it works.
Like many of you, we were shocked to hear about the damage to the defib at #BuxtedFC over the weekend. To ensure the community don't suffer, we've today loaned the club a defib for as long as it's needed #communityresilience#defibrillator
