Learning as much as I can today at @PemCourses #parapem21
Keen to see what today entails!
Spending as much time as I can lately around the talented doctors and paramedics who train and work on these beautiful machines 🚁
Feeling like a kid in a candy shop 🤩

Paramedic tests should not be made to evaluate if students can memorize information. They should be made to evaluate if students know how to use the information, and where to find it if they need to look it up.
One of my favourite episodes is out now talking about the emotional side of paediatrics and the clinical approach. Thank you very much @andrewjtagg for sharing your knowledge with us

Currently reflecting on #Totb2021 and I am honestly amazed at how collaborative and empowering so many healthcare professionals are to Paramedicine Students.

Took a pre-alert for a young COVID patient.
We approached them the same way we do with all patients (empathy, humour, reassurance)
They said “aren’t you guys scared??”
It caught me out (we still are scared), because we must be pretty good at hiding that nowadays, I guess.
I’m not big into ‘self-help’ ideology, however this is an article that was a good read!
