Great work from our @EDSalfordRoyal @NCAlliance_NHS advanced practice team getting this over the line. Patient friendly, less paper. We “may” have seen the idea elsewhere so thank you to the clever person who thought of it 👏 Should there just be one for the whole NHS…..

🚨🚑December's #RapidRecap looks at Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures #PNES, helping us move past the historical pejorative term "pseudo-seizures". Distinguishing between epileptic seizures and PNES is often challenging and with caution - see #JRCALC for further guidance. 🚑🚨

Agree. Don't just plough in with IV consider oral first. #paracetamol #IVOralSwitch #Sustainability #medicines @PharmDeclares @GavOMaonaigh @ejmille1 @RosieEngland @JohnMcanaw @ChrisMo26415221
1g of iv paracetamol vs tablets. Tablets have similar analgesic efficacy plus are around 100x cheaper. Much better for the environment. Win win!!

It’s not possible to jump from feeling “stressed” to “Joy in work” - which is why @NeedsAtWork are so important & the language we use with staff matters Here’s my ladder of emotions - where are you at? #NHS

For October's Spotlight on #Racism feature we are sharing a video from our recent #Ambulance Leadership Forum, highlighting the experiences of former black Muslim paramedic student #HafsaMahumud. We urge you to watch, reflect and share: >> aace.org.uk/news/spotlight-o… #ALF2022
