That wraps up nightshift number 3 of 3! Tonight we have seen an intoxicated patient, sickle cell crisis, minor head injury, and my personal favourite - birth of a beautiful baby boy! GOODNIGHT! 😁

The first thing I tell new paramedics out training with me is the importance of a name! Rule #1 always introduce yourselves and ask the patients and family's name. I also added a smiley face for happy vibes! 😊😊

If theres one thing that needs to be slick, it's running a cardiac arrest. They happen in homes, streets, parks & pubs, any time of day. We regularly run training scenario sessions like these (including equipment failures, mess & human factors) to keep us on our toes! SA

Today has been a better day! Thank you for all the love and support for my crewmate and I, we cannot thank you all enough. Found out the person has been charged and is due to appear in court next month! All smiles here

Wish this was a happy tweet Our patient verbally assaulted us, threatened to punch and 'kill' us, trapped us in our own ambulance then spat on my crewmate twice. They've been arrested and we've used our Spit Kit to provide physical evidence as well as statements DONT DO THIS

Last night over pizza the Brent group had a CPD night where we learnt all about subtle pattern recognition of heart attacks in ECGs. We also heard from Michelle who works in our local Heart Attack Centre at @RoyalFreeNHS Every day is a learning day! What a turn out 😎

It's all about staff welfare this afternoon at our CEO roadshow. A chance to mingle with the executive team and ask any questions we have. Plus a chance to catch up with colleagues!

Start of shift today we ran through some cardiac arrest simulations in the station with a couple new paramedics. It's always important to maintain practice and skills so we can provide the best care for our patients!

Found ourselves a little out of area today! We have been covering for South London all afternoon. An amazing sunset but time to journey the 45miles home now!

Our ambulances are for emergencies only. Many of our patients have less serious illnesses or injuries, and do not need an ambulance. The NHS111 service is for urgent advice and help and offers clinical assessments over the phone. #TuesdayThoughts

Hello everyone! I’m 1/3 of the new @LAS_NorthLdn twitter team. I’m a paramedic with over 12 years service, I mainly work on the Fast Response Cars out of our Edmonton station but I do spend some time working on our ambulances as well. Please feel free to ask questions. - Rob

We are privileged to again be a part of the #MagicalTaxiTour – which set off this morning. Our medics are accompanying 120 taxis that are taking children with life-threatening illnesses on a magical adventure to @DisneylandParis. #FridayFeeling

HUGE thanks to the lovely man in Newham who decided to spit at the windshield of one of our Ambulances whilst they were blue lighting a patient into hospital. Just FYI... This is sarcasm. This is stupid. This is dangerous. Don't bloody do it.
