Absolutely thrilled to say Iโve landed the dream job!!! Iโll soon be starting as a HEMS Paramedic with
@airambulancekss
. ๐๐ All the hard work does pay off, thank you so much to those who have supported me to get here ๐๐
I have the best job in the world! Today we were able to give a patient a dignified death at home and held his hand while he passed away. Such a privalliged position weโre in
First day at

- โcan you get a picture for my mum please!?โ Amazing team and such a privilege. Looking forward to the next couple of years!
Really impressed with the new

vehicles, which are about to be rolled out! Clearly some thought and attention to detail. Well done all involved!
Mixed emotions this week, as I finish my last full-time shift at
@airambulancekss
. What a privilege itโs been - met some amazing people and learnt tones! Excited to now start my next adventure with
@SECAmb_CCP
๐จ๐
Is anyone actually starting to feel exhausted, or is it just me? Iโm genuinely frightened of this virus, and scared of whatโs to come. The last 5 days at work has been tough and things are getting worse, look after yourselves out there!
End of an era! Today is my last shift with my amazing crewmate. Weโve had a crazy couple of years - from death and destruction, to delivering babies and saving lives. Iโm going to really miss her by my side, and look forward to seeing her progress! Now to the next challenge ๐
My thoughts are with Sgt Ratanaโs family, my colleagues in
@metpoliceuk
and those in
@Ldn_Ambulance
who would have attended the incident. RIP ๐๐
Thank you
@Ldn_Ambulance
for your hospitality on a VERY out of area meal break last night. Your team leader at Fulham Ambulance Station makes a cracking cuppa!
@SECAmbulance
Today Iโve officially been hit! After a quite emotional/upsetting incident, this was lovely to find and really cheered me up. Thank you to who ever you are!!!!
Have been at
@airambulancekss
for just under 3 months. Itโs been an immense learning curve, but itโs such a privilege to serve the people of the community who are in need. Itโs also great to work with so many excellent clinicians, both at KSS and

Today Iโve had a feel good day! Iโve been braving the snow and working with the Home Vaccination Team providing vaccinations to the housebound people of my local community. Itโs amazing to be part of the process which gets us back on track!

Hi, Iโm a Paramedic. You may know me from my hits:
โCouple of bumps as we go inโ
โYes, we both driveโ
โAnd, have you seen your own GP?โ
And the all time classic โSo whatโs worried you enough to phone an emergency ambulance?โ
Hi, Iโm a Nurse Clinician. You may know me from my hits:
โItโs like an ACP but with a funny job titleโ
โNo, our doctor hasnโt seen them before Iโve referred to youโ
And the best selling...
โIโm discharging this patient but can I tell you about them so I can send you a form?โ
Today I saw a very good friend for the first time since as qualifying as a Doctor. We started our crazy career journey at uni at the same time, so proud to see him bossing it! He will be an asset to

This is so lovely. Unexpectedly hit me right in the feels, now Iโm crying in bedโฆJust call, option 2 and listen. Iโm certainly saving this number for those low moments on shift ๐
Iโm absolutely delighted to receive this feedback! Learning your name in sign language is such a simple way to put patients with hearing difficulties at ease

It was great to team up with

Still amazed that a group of clinicians that have never worked with each-other, can come together to provide critical care in challenging circumstances. Thank you
@SECAmb_CCP
and
@airambulancekss
for your support!
Today I received a compliment from a patientโs daughter. We spent time meeting end of life care needs and getting JIC meds in place as well as referring to the hospice. Such a rewarding job, glad our patient passed in peace.

Interesting read in the latest edition Paramedic Insight from

around safeguarding at events. Highlighting the need for stringent recruiting requirements, responsibilities of organisations and raising concerns. Something I think we do very well in
