Of the 40,000 resuscitation attempts carried out by emergency services in the UK each year, fewer than 10% survive. Let's change this. Learn CPR and be ready to act.

If you have ever wanted evidence of when someone requires a full immobilisation, without collar of course, this is it 👇👇
NEW: Man goes flying in front of thousands of people at the annual Gloucestershire cheese roll at Cooper's Hill in the UK. The tradition involves dozens of individuals who chase after a roll of cheese down the steep 200-yard hill. According to the BBC, two people were

@TheResusRoom paramedic's admistering naloxone inline with this (less mcg's rather than the full 400mcg which JRCalc states) or is this not an issue due to being under Schedule 19?

Finally caught up with the @TheResusRoom's podcast on Opioid Overdose - recommend everyone listening to this as it reinforced but also challenged many things in my head about these jobs. In terms of RCEM's naloxone guidelines, would there be any legal ramifications for 1/2

@ParamedicsUK this is a good thread which backs up that I feel it's time we as the paramedic profession regulate with a speciality register all advanced paramedics and that we should fine ways to stop the use of adv prac titles if there isn't a minimum standard met.
Dear Patients, The titles of health professionals you see might not mean what you think. If the advice or treatment you are offered by any health professional seems odd, then it's ok to question us on it. It's also ok to ask about our credentials (as long as you're polite!)

Do any Ambulance Trusts (or anyone else for that matter) have protocols for Duel Sequential defibrillation? JRCalc says its not recommended but I've seen a study (and some anecdotal evidence) recently saying it's effective
