This is Dad. He died 6 weeks ago today. Reflecting on just how much he taught me and that the world would be a better place if there were more Clive’s in it. He spent his whole life advocating for those who needed his help and support. In a world where you can be anything, be him

Please don’t be tempted to cool off in open water during the hotter weather. Water safety isn't just being able to swim. "Do you know what to do if you get into trouble in the water? Please watch the video below and share. 👉orlo.uk/FWNIZ #DrowningPreventionWeek #DPW

The burglars smashed the key safe off the wall to get the keys, break in to the house and steal both cars off the drive - including Dad’s motorbility car. Terrifying to think that a key safe might make you vulnerable in this way but worth considering if you or loved ones have one

Fair play @TUIUK and the team of TOM158 @ManchesterairA. Technical fault on plane delaying departure but captain taken it upon himself to make announcements from gate. Everyone updated, clear plan and no complaints. Great example of CRM and leadership.

A busy, challenging day on @NWAirAmbulance with multiple incidents across the North West. One thing was consistent though - the teamwork alongside @NWAmbulance colleagues who showed care, skill & compassion throughout.

🚨 The ambulance service and wider health service is under a lot of pressure today. As a result, you may experience a delay in getting an ambulance. Please only call 999 in a life-threatening emergency or 111.nhs.uk for non-urgent concerns.

One of the biggest frustrations in EM/A&E is other specialties telling us what our job is. How many guidelines and advice sheets end with ‘if concerned go to A&E’. It’s time to reclaim our specialty. Before it dies.
Not sure how I stumbled across this, but it is somewhat telling that it was published a year ago and had not appeared on my radar. Hypertension doctors have issued a position document on the management of hypertensive crises. @BIHSoc_Events nature.com/articles/s41371-0…
