What are paramedics tweeting about?

Apparently it's #ThankAParamedic day today! So if you know a paramedic, or one has looked after you recently, say thanks! It'll make their day, I promise! #BlueLightHappy

Excellent editorial board meeting with @Para_Practice, looking forward to a great future for the JPP
Paramedic Practice @Para_Practice
We want to know your thoughts on the #Budget2017 - how will these changes effect your practice? Is enough being done to save the NHS? Comment and share our thoughts with us @NeeNawsteve
Im hoping my trust will get additional funding for student paramedic places, then being told you've passed the interview and will be given a placement *it* funding can be found.
If* not it …. nightshift brain

‘Don't block my drive’ note left on the windscreen of an ambulance - have you had any negative experiences with members of the public you weren't treating?
@romduck: Goodness, who HASN'T?
@Paramedic_In_GP: Let's be pragmatic for one second, whilst trying very hard not to provoke a fight… Whilst we are engaged in an emergency-life goes on around us.
Your emergency, might not be that of your neighbour. We must accept this.
@cwtchynycegin: Hammering on the doors whilst ALS in process. Bystanders aware of circumstances wanting to know how long we'd be so they could move their cars
@leeparrott45: My old crew mate (retired now) had a story from the late 80s. Doing CPR on a patient, had left front door open in house. Suddenly a man appears in the front room shouts “Move the ambulance!” And then leaves! Sadly, it's not a new phenomenon. #NHS
@flyeruk69: There's a big difference between pragmatism and selfishness, while the neighbour might be impatient to carry on in this life, the ambulance crews are working hard to save a life

Had the pleasure to discuss safety aspects in pre hospital clinical settings and comparing UK and Turkey issues. 5th International Paramedic Congress and Ambulance Rally, Kemer, Antalya 2017.

Published by Rebecca Gilroy What do you think about using new technology in #paramedic practice? Does it make the process more efficient or does it rely too much on systems that can potentially fail? We want to hear your thoughts, after news that NHS Highland is working with The European Space Agency on a project called SatCare. The programme enables ultrasound images and video to be sent to hospitals prior to patient arrival.
Natalie Lane:
Maybe for advanced practitioners but not for the everyday… bit OTT??
Karl Normington:
Don't see why, just another tool. I know a couple of the staff who have done the training, said it wasn't a complicated process
Scott O'Rourke
Don't see the hype. We do this already with details, ECGs and observations.
Why is it such a surprise for a trial of sending ahead ultrasound images (presumably) in the event of a major trauma suddenly such a surprise?
