In Madrid. They say the @LesMills BODYCOMBAT community is an international one and tonight it certainly was. Absolute privilege to do a class and get summoned to the stage on track 4! Thank you to Oscar, David and Adriana for their hospitality and welcoming to their BC family 🥊

Paramedics and those in the emergency services are adaptable, multiskilled and crucially, know how to work under pressure. Proudly becoming Patron of @ParamedicsUK. It’s been a privilege to spend time today with first responders whose work saves lives day in, day out.

Been relatively absent from X recently. Completely left field but started @lesmillsUK BODYCOMBAT a few years ago, and have decided to take the plunge and become an instructor. First time shadow instructing some of the class at the weekend and full class on Monday. 1/n

It felt very different being at the front even not saying a word, never had that much of a dry mouth before 🥵. Talking will be the next big step (I can just about breathe). Here’s too a stronger, fitter, happier life 🏃🏻‍♂️ 3/n

PS. Would 100% recommend popping along and trying it. I was never in to fitness or fitness classes, let alone thinking I’d ever want to teach it! Genuinely has changed my life for the better with great people and new friends! Find your class here: lesmills.com/uk/workouts/gro…

Delighted to have received fellowship of @R_S_P_H .. A privilege to bring some public health knowledge and experience to the ambulance service, supported by a fantastic team and wider Trust @swasFT.

Happy International Paramedics Day. Still incredibly proud to put on my uniform and book on every morning to help those in need. Special shoutout to our ECA’s, call handlers and all the other roles who doesn’t get a day dedicated to them, but whom without we would not function!

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Turns out it’s both (and a very nice ice cream which is absolutely on that seagulls radar!!) Lovely to get back out doing what I love. I did have to wipe ice cream of my chops before taking the photo below. And yes police can have ice cream.

A good few days with colleagues @AACE_org talking about our national body worn video direction, charter and strategy. Pleased that 75% of our people are currently utilising a body worn camera @swasFT . Still some work to do ensure all colleagues feel empowered to use BWV.

Some overwhelmingly positive results from the usage of BWV throughout our 3 year trial and working with colleagues @RANDEurope to independently evaluate its use within the sector.

A brilliant opportunity to work with some @transportgovuk colleagues so they could get a greater insight into what we do, and also understand the value volunteer police officers bring to @BTP. As Sir Peel said: The police are the public, and the public are the police.

@BTP provides national opportunities (great for those who move around or may be going to Uni etc) and some unique opportunities and insights into policing. We also have vacancies in Devon & Cornwall where we work closely alongside our home office colleagues on joint ops👮🏻‍♂️👮🏻🚔

Up in the fanatic @Ldn_Ambulance for the week seeing a culmination of years of work coming together with the new @AACE_org restrictive interventions senior trainer programme. Great to see national coordination on how we apply and reduce these practices to our patients.

Look forward taking this back to @swasFT with our education team who are up here too. I hope this will keep our people and patients a lot safer. Also love the “Taxibulances” which are probably nothing of the sort but look cool nevertheless!

Great opportunity to work with our County Lines Task Force on a plain clothes operation tackling drug dealing in the peninsula. Unfortunately found myself victim some friendly fire and it turns out pepper spray does indeed hurt. Nothing a bag of frozen sweetcorn couldn’t fix 😂

Thanks to @BBC for the opportunity to talk about the risks our @swasFT people face whilst trying to keep others safe. Highlighting a horrific incident our colleagues faced in Wiltshire last year. Scroll along to 10 minutes for the full feature. 👇🏻 bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…

Nice to get back clinical yesterday looking after the people of Plymouth. 🚑 Even managed to grab a coffee by the waterfront which is a rarity. Great to see the impact our increased resourcing in our EOC is bringing to the frontline. Fancy joining us? 👇🏻
A big thank you to @TheParaCop for taking me out on an RV in Plymouth yesterday great to catch up on the V&A agenda whilst attending some calls. Even got to have a look around @cornwallairam #thanks Jeremy and Louise
