Last year I tweeted an i-gel pic that 2 paramedics put on blast for poor technique which derailed my confidence. Cut to theatre today, the consultant anaesthetist hands me an i-gel, in it went and he said “you can tell you’ve done that before. Pro!” 🥺🥺🥺 #StudentParamedic

I always find is so frustrating when HEMS / HART teams post pictures of their latest recruits and there’s no heterogeneity. We need to start asking if those with protected characteristics aren’t: applying (WHY), getting interviewed (WHY), being successful post interview (WHY)

One thing my paeds placement has really taught me so far is actually how wide the paramedic scope of practice is. I keep finding myself offering to do assessments, only to be explicitly told that I can’t perform them as “I can’t do them so can’t know if you’re doing it properly”

Victims don’t speak out because the culture is toxic and they fear they won’t be believed. Victims don’t speak out because they’ve seen that nothing happens to perpetrators. Victims don’t speak out because they’ve seen previous victims vilified by colleagues.
