A 12 hour night shift and privilege are not two words I would routinely associate. But tonight is an exception. Massively proud to be crewing the first night HEMS shift in Welsh History as @air_ambulance becomes a 24/7 flying critical care service with @EmrtsWales . #Cymru

ICU / Theatre lift. Water circuit, BVM, suction, oxygen, PPE, AED and a landline with various hotkeys for getting help. Helpful if you end up stuck in a lift with someone who may not have warranted a full transfer trolley at the time?. Why isnโ€™t this standard everywhere?

Huge shoutout to @JulesWhittaker1 and the rest of the @EmrtsWales admin team for making our travel / accommodation arrangements for Edinburgh this week. The only thing you havenโ€™t done for us is pack our bags ๐Ÿคฃ

Seeing in 2019 on a Swansea RRV, going into the new year with a few recent sobering reminders not take anything or anyone for granted and looking forward the challenge of starting a new job. The health kick can wait another year. Cheers tweeters ๐Ÿฅ‚

Big thanks to @SwanseaPHEMS for inviting me on to talk at the virtual pre-hospital and emergency medicine conference today. Very well organised event given the COVID restrictions. Thoroughly enjoyed the other talks too in the background whilst I finished my presentation ๐Ÿ˜‚

House hunting is a nightmare in the current market! I think all property viewings should be open-house style where prospective buyers fight to the death throughout the day in the property. Whoever is left at closing time gets their offer accepted. Problem solved ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ ๐Ÿ˜‚

Great shift with @jasonkillens and @LewisJones25 today. Lots of promising discussions about where the service is going, some of the challenges we face demonstrated quite aptly, a nice mix of patients, a few laughs along the way and..Lewis lost his penthrox virginity!!

Not sure I โ€œgetโ€ the extinction rebellion thing?. Iโ€™m all for green energy and wildlife conservation etcโ€ฆbut if your sole means of raising awareness is tying up police, disrupting peopleโ€™s lives and damaging propertyโ€ฆsurely people just start thinking your a bunch of wankers?

Every now and again I like to do a shop in Aldi, just to remind myself about why I donโ€™t go there. Every checkout experience should come with a corporate apology as your purchased items are thrown across the store towards the general direction of your trolley๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ.
