Delighted to return from night shift to find my copy of Paramedic Research waiting for me. This book empowers prehospital professionals to understand and undertake research in the prehospital and emergency care spaces. My chapter focusses on effective dissemination of research findings

Really pleased to be back at @unistavanger.bsky.social as an honorary lecturer on the International Masters in Prehospital Critical Care. Amazing campus location, visionary course and diverse candidate group. Always enjoy my time here 🇳🇴

An absolute blinder of a podcast episode. An incredible discussion between James and David from AV, navigating this complex area of emergency care. Some great pearls and pragmatic solutions grounded in experience and evidence podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/c...

A shockingly good episode full of all the current thinking on this topic….. Really terrible puns aside, there are some huge points in here around safety, management and transport decision for prehospital folk and in-hospital colleagues. Resistance is futile, download today!

“A candle doesn’t loose any power when it lights another candle” Too often people are protective over their knowledge and skills, believing that this offers them an advantage over others. Whereas true power is found in sharing and developing others, allowing them to grow

Inspired by the great new study from @drcarolineleech.bsky.social, we delve deep into this essential topic. Including an interview with Caroline, we explore all aspects of maternal arrest to try and reduce the cognitive load involved with these rare cases. #PHEM #RH #paramedic #FOAMed

Final catch up with @amauryhernandez.bsky.social this afternoon before our “crew room-style” keynote at the @iccpg.bsky.social conference exploring paramedic-delivered neonatal retrieval from both sides of the Atlantic. A lot of material to cover in 20mins. May be best to watch us back half speed!

Hands up who HASN’T seen a Bronchiolitis case this winter! This was a cracking episode to prep for, really understanding the pathophysiology of the condition, how that affects our management and smashing some misconceptions Give it a listen and let us know if it’s been useful

‼️This paper flips the resuscitative hysterotomy paradigm on its head ‼️ Previously we’ve said that RH is for maternal survival This paper shows #NEWBORN survival of 45% v maternal survival of 4.5%. With newborn survivors up to 46mins after arrest! Change your mindset

Next is James Yates @heli-med-james.bsky.social from GWAAC and @theresusroom.bsky.social talking about what he has identified as key qualities of exceptional PHEM trainees: - Be inquisitive - Bravery (acknowledge that there will be adversity) - Emotional Intelligence

There is no black and white, @heli-med-james.bsky.social explaining how PHEM is many shades of gray. This leads to the need for: 1) Situational awareness 2) Decision making and prioritisation 3) Leadership #PREPARED25

This point on preparing for #PHEM application is equally valid for #paramedics aspiring to specialist practice Spend majority of time building your CV doing things you enjoy to meet person spec If you don’t get in then you won’t feel like it was a waste of your time

On my way to London to present at the inaugural #Prepared25 conference. Helping aspiring #PHEM trainees to succeed in their careers, I’m speaking as part of the “Emerge” session. I’ll be exploring the personal and professional qualities required to excel in PHEM training

New BOAST guideline on management of lateral patella dislocation. What does that mean for paramedics? 1. Relocate in the field with appropriate analgesia 2. Transport for imagining and access to onwards care

Very grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this awesome conference. Great conversation just now with @amauryhernandez.bsky.social about our talk where we’ll cover: What is neonatal retrieval What’s the paramedics role How do we develop key skill set How do we ensure safe & effective care

Ketamine for termination of benzodiazepine-resistant seizures? A small, cohort study adds weight to the interest. Ketamine rapidly terminated convulsion in 98.2% without recurrence during prehospital & hospital arrival phases. No increased adverse events either… www.qxmd.com/r/39642307

A 2min read but vital for all ambulance staff. How often do we consider the bystanders experience of providing CPR? Taking the time to thank them for their input and check their welfare can be invaluable for them. They are the first link in the chain! www.bmj.com/content/387/...

Quite a different episode from us this month. We’d love to hear your thoughts… Did this episode resonate with you? Do you agree with the 4 pillars? Did we miss any pillars of practice? How else can we unpick the complexity of prehospital care & continue to develop?

A slight deviation from the norm this month when simon and I go all reflective… We try to establish key skills that can help navigate the early complexity of prehospital care, but also allow continued development as you progress through your career. #PHEM #paramedic #FOAMed

Great to see our paper published in the British Paramedic Journal this month. The article formed part of our work in developing and refining the #OHNLS course. Unbelievably gratifying to see such positive results which will hopefully translate to better care for #babies born out of hospital

This conference is going to be a blast! Really delighted to have been invited to contribute. Apparently I’m going to give an insight into what makes a great #PHEM trainee! Standby for plenty of stories, some facts and a smattering of banter…

Early start this morning with @simon-laing.bsky.social to deliver our presentation at the @AirAmbulancesUK conference. If you’re intrigued by the title, keep an eye out for the forthcoming @theresusroom.bsky.social episode when we’ll explain all!
