Yeh I still have mine somewhere. As my daughter starts her own Paramedicine journey, I look on with a great deal of envy into what she’s studying. Despite all the challenges we face, I’d have my time all over again if I could.

School of thought that reasonably says EoLC pts shouldn’t present to ambo services if care is already in place. However, I wonder if that sufficiently takes into the actions and reactions of family & careers who simply want timely assistance. We need to be ready to manage these calls appropriately.

Got mine a month ago Tracy. My mum found she had bowel cancer during this screening process. She was asymptomatic at the time, so thank goodness for the test as it clearly aided detection well before she even knew and led to a positive outcome.

Knowing the authors of this book as I do, this is bound to be a fantastic publication!

This is extremely worrying. I see a growing vaccine apathy, even amongst healthcare workers and the nonsense from the US isn’t helping. When will people waken up to both the necessity and obligations to protect us all.

The traditional model of sending an ambulance to see if we need to send an ambulance is both unsustainable and not clinically effective. This is a significant milestone in our modernisation journey. ambulance.nhs.wales/news/nhs/202...

Your periodic reminder that vaccines have been around for over 200 years.

They aren't new.

Their effectiveness is undeniable.

Don't believe me? Go walk in any old cemetery and look at all the graves of children <5.

Our babies used to die.

All. The. Time.

Now they don't.
