RIP to the OG of the resus world. He taught me protocol C 17 years ago and I’ve been hooked on the development of resus in pre hospital medicine since. We will continue to do you proud!

The best project to support the psychological safety of bystanders involved in OHCA ❤️‍🩹

True gent. Started my love for OHCA when he taught us protocol C 17 years ago!

An insightful opportunity to be taught by the experts! @optibreech thanks for your invaluable knowledge! Loved learning about all things breech.. Even if I was asking @KerrieWykes for help with the midwifery lingo! Thanks @EastEnglandAmb for the CPD as always and @damow67!

Reflecting on what has been an incredibly insightful 2 days with @EastEnglandAmb and @StephenHearns1 for his performance under pressure course! By far the best course I have attended in my 16 year ambulance service career! Thank you so much once again.

Our @EastEnglandAmb colleague @LukeAndreou presenting cardiac arrest data from across the region providing a wider perspective on epidemiology at our @EHAAT_ cardiac arrest masterclass 💚

Paramedic Educators, this should be common practice. Get your student immersed into the ambulance life. Let them ride up front! Engage with the MDT and prep themselves mentally for the job.

So proud to watch the students graduate and for the faculty chat to them and their families IRL! Come and study with us next year if you aren’t already.

Super proud, happy and relieved to say that i have completed my MSc in Emergency Medicine and Resuscitation @ResusMasters at @QMUL. It’s been an invaluable 3 years with a team of experts teaching us what they know and being able to share passions with. Thank you for the journey.

🍀Good luck 🍀to all our dissertation and scientific project students getting their MSc results today! 👩🏼‍🎓👩🏼‍🎓
