Heartening to see how the latest @ResusCouncilUK guidelines highlight the key role Ambulance Dispatch staff play in the chain of survival for patients in cardiac arrest, reflecting the incredible job that EMDs in @NIAS999 and other services do in improving patient outcomes

Fascinating update on potential simple prehospital bloodtest to help inform “local for lysis” -v- “direct to thrombectomy centre” decision for patients presenting with acute stroke symptoms; particularly relevant to the NI context of one regional thrombectomy centre #BASICS2025

A huge gratitude to @RodMack2 for selflessly sharing his own experiences of the impact of dealing with severe trauma over and over again. Pre-hospital care depends so much on #peoplewhatgiveadamn, and we need to look out for them and look after them #BASICS2025

The CQC in England has a remit to oversee private ambulance providers and will potentially expand this to look more at sporting and private event cover; significant implications for those involved but no such oversight in Northern Ireland to date #BASICS2025

Entonox is 300x more harmful than CO2 in terms of greenhouse gas effect, and accounts for up to 10% of ambulance service emissions impact…do we really have a handle on this? A pause for thought at #BASICS2025

Early CPR and early defibrillation can make the difference between life and death. That is why NIAS has installed publicly accessible defibrillators near to each of our stations which are located in the heart of the communities we serve. @healthdpt @BHFNI
