1/3 A paper recently published on physician lead prehospital critical care teams has recently lead to some heated discussions in various spheres. Further discussion has resulted in a white paper being authored by the prehospital and retrieval medicine society of New Zealand

Great engagement this week with the Irish Dementia Working Group on @AmbulanceNAS proposals for developing an age friendly ambulance service. Really good insights and advice, thanks to all the group members @IrishDementiaWG @alzheimersocirl
Powerful meeting this morning with @AmbulanceNAS who are working hard to ensure we have an Age Friendly Ambulance Service. Our members shared many insightful experiences. We are all looking forward to further developing this work

Taking falsified medicines can harm your health. They may contain:
❌ no or incorrect amount of active ingredient
❌ the wrong active ingredient
These medicines won’t treat or prevent disease & may cause harmful side effects. Only purchase 💊 from authorized pharmacies.

This is bad.
Eir’s customer complaint manual:
"Under no circumstances are the complaints number or complaints webpage address to be provided to any customer. An agent found to be doing this will be subject to a disciplinary under call avoidance."
Irish court fined it €7,500

This is brilliant. Cobras. Goals vs target measured vs unintended vs unintended outcome. It’s a huge problem in healthcare.

"Dying, just like being born, is a process our bodies go through quite naturally. Knowing what to expect takes away a lot of the fear."
@drkathrynmannix goes through the process of dying with the idea of relieving anxiety around the subject of death: ow.ly/FWqv50Q95B0

Seen much about a child in possession of a ‘toy’ being detained at gunpoint by armed officers? Although @firearmsWMP won’t comment on this case, our job is increasingly difficult when we deal with ‘toy’ gun incidents. This ‘toy’ is in fact real & capable of killing! Enough said?
Fantastic afternoon, certain now more than ever that our quest to eliminate incivilty will improve patient safety and staff wellbeing.

And that’s a wrap for another year 👏 Another successful National Human Factors in Patient Safety conference has come to an end. Great speakers who delivered very interesting talks and provided great take-aways. Thank you to our speakers and attendees both in person and online.

The psychological impact of resuscitation affects everyone differently. Immediately afterwards, you might feel great – or sometimes you might not be affected at all.
But it's important to remember that at times, exposure to resuscitation can be shocking, upsetting or disturbing.

For Al my colleagues who have worried about my “summer” uniform, I was just ahead of the game.
As #shortsgate rumbles on into its second day across the UK ambulance sector Twitter fraternity it’s great to see colleagues embracing the future…

Essential listening for every single member of An Garda Siochana, including the Commissioner and indeed the Minister for Justice. Urgent action required.
Laura Young resigned from An Garda Síochána last year, and was one of 109 to quit the force last year - the highest number in five years.
@mickthehack speaks to her on why she felt she had to leave the force.

Got my flu shot at @ULHospitals today.
Hope all @AmbulanceNAS staff will do the same - protects our patients, our families and ourselves
