Great new paper from @CumminsNM & colleagues🏥 highlighting that expecting patients to self-assess illness severity related to ED attendances may not be reasonable as even healthcare providers do not consistently agree on appropriateness of presentations.

Brilliant talks on building research capacity by @CumminsNM, point of care bloods testing by @GaryGar10114613 and CPR induced consciousness by @NKCmedical. Delighted to add a talk on posterior stroke recognition.

Paramedics and those in the emergency services are adaptable, multiskilled and crucially, know how to work under pressure.
Proudly becoming Patron of @ParamedicsUK. It’s been a privilege to spend time today with first responders whose work saves lives day in, day out.
