What are paramedics tweeting about?Paramedic Practice @Para_PracticeSurvey reveals that NHS #ambulance staff have poor training and development compared to other #health professions and that they are the worst for: work-related stress, giving staff appraisals, appraisal quality, team working and staff engagement.@AndrewYorke6I'd love to say I'm shocked but unfortunately I'm not. Unfortunately the ambulance service has always been the poor relation of the nhs. Staff development has continually been sacrificed to support operational performance. Operations is grossly under funded. Vicious circle.@LucaAlfattiJust confirming most of my points on my dissertation. Nothing new and is not only about ‘operational demand’ is actually also about status quo, changing management (people) and changing culture in the service. I don't see this happening anytime soon.Jon Almond @NWAmb_JonAWe expect to work without fear, Tonight however, I have been assaulted and had a patient spit in my eye. This is NOT acceptable! To clean my ambulance & be treated at hospital for IPC compliance has taken me off the road for 3 hours. #workingwithoutfear #Team999 #InfectionriskJason Carlyon @jcarlyonAmazing response from #yorkshire #secondaryschools already signed up to @ YorksAmbulance #restartaheart campaign, register early to avoid missing out #cprsaveslives #CPRRichard McManus @NWAmb_RichMHilarious watching people trying to be caught on camera as they film Rip-off Britain at the Trafford Centre. Hopefully I made it on, walked past 16 times.Matt Green @mig1611When giving buccal midazolam, avoid the temptation to massage the patient's cheeks - it pushes the drug into the oropharynx and saliva, and away from the more vascular mucosa.
