Was practicing for my upcoming NQP ALS OSCE and GoodSAM goes off. Attended,cardiac arrest,did all available interventions until crew arrived,then assisted ALS, good teamwork. Sadly a ROLE but such a bizarre evening to go from practicing ALS to assisting within minutes! #teamwast

What a phenomenal experience to complete @SwanseaUni @SwanseaHSC @ParaScienceSU ’s first ever Major Incident #ExerciseTawe for paramedic students; shaping us into highly skilled, decisive, poised and resilient clinicians in the midst of chaos. What a send off for my final year!

Today’s my last ever shift as a #studentparamedic before I move onto NQP!! And on the NHS’s 76th birthday, with a new government, and just completed the biggest handover too - today’s a good day!

This 100% needs to be on public access defibs and trained to the public, especially as women are less likely to receive CPR‼️(makes you wonder why the Annie resus dolls’ anatomy is male and not female based on the history?!) #DontBeATitGetOverItAndSaveALife

The paramedics/techs/crews that say “student?” and when you nod they hand you the things you need to do, e.g. airway, cannulation etc…absolute legends! 🔛🔝 #studentparamedic

@students_staff @NikkiWCHHS @SwanseaUni Whilst I support strikes, for us paramedic students it has been a nightmare. We were given short notice for our placements, and as a result accommodation has been very last minute. The majority of the cohort has been very stressed

@TheLeeMcLaren Low confidence and due to qualify! I know what to do it’s just having to confidence to do it/ say out loud “Right. This is what I think is going on. And this is what we’re going to do”. On my last placement now and every other student seems so much more confident than me!
