Working in the Ambulance Service / medical field in general is absolutely hilarious. One minute you feel like giving up because you feel so incompetent and know nothing. Next minute you feel so good at your job and proud of what you do. It’s like a constant rollercoaster.

4 years later…. 1.5 years longer than it was originally meant to be, I’ve managed to gain registration as a fully qualified Paramedic. It’s been a long journey but it’s been worth every minute. Looking forward to see what the future will bring.

The @GoodSamApp is a great initiative, enhancing the chain of survival. Alerted this AM however whilst on route was stood down. Only been alerted a handful of times and ambo crew had got there first, but it’s better to have it and not need it than vice versa.

Pre-hospital peeps: You think your patient should go to hospital but your crewmate disagrees and thinks they can be left at home. You’ve already strongly advised hospital (for good reason) but your crewmate overrules you in front of the family. What do you do?

I genuinely wish more people had this mindset. Qualifying as a paramedic doesn’t mean you have to know absolutely everything. It’s a lifelong journey, a jigsaw that you fill the pieces in as you find them. Be humble,admit when you make mistakes,learn from them and teach others.

Number 1 lesson I’ve learnt as a student Paramedic. By the time I’ve qualified Im never going to be the finished product. And that okay! Instead of chasing perfection, chase that growth mindset. Every experience and every mistake is a learning opportunity. Merry Christmas!

Just listened to @wmcareteam ‘s podcast on Impact Brain Apnoea by @jenrow . Really informative and explained simply. Prompt recognition and ventilation is key to reverse hypoxia&hypercarbia, stimulate spontaneous respiration and prevent catecholamine surge which worsens outcome.

@JMoff79 @KHoulgate It’s not just ‘talking and reassuring’ that’s challenging. It’s the toileting, feeding, reassuring, re-positioning, etc. for 6+ hours, oftentimes a whole shift, which is not in our care bundle. It’s not something that we’re used to and not something we should be used to.

@Sam_Imber @emmajoyfulford Exactly, they ‘should’, but not all have been transitioned. If you’re going to worry about infecting patients, clamp down on all of it, not some. You could argue that the transmission of pathogens is the same if not more from a sleeve amongst a variety of other things.

@Sully_Bryan1 @mrpatrickrevans @GoodSamApp Governance is one of GoodSam’s core principles, but realistically there’s not much to it. Once the trust is registered as a verifying organisation, all they have to do is match with details on file and ID card submitted and go “yep, they’re qualified in CPR”, it takes 1-2 days.
