@NicClory @PARAMEDICPEI @DrCheskes @ButterflyNetInc #BatDoc had a great day hanging out with great paramedics on PEI.

THANK YOU THANK YOU!

@TheSGEM An important reminder that medics are the prehospital experts, and their care matters. Being out in the community with critically ill patients is a different job than working in the ED, but one critical to the care we deliver.

One of my QEH counterparts Dr. Nathan St-Onge introducing our EMS colleagues to POCUS, which is increasingly being used in some systems for prehospital care and community paramedicine. (Also I *really* want a @ButterflyNetInc iQ3 as I currently have a 1st gen. They’re awesome.)

Some prehospital mythbusting by @TheSGEM at the PEI Paramedic Association symposium.

#BatDoc meets @DrCheskes the lead author of this trial in @NEJM. It showed greater survival with vector change and double sequence defibrillation compared to standard treatment in adult patients with OHCA and refractory ventricular fibrillation. https://t.co/uwKNF69YpT

Amazing day at the @PARAMEDICPEI Symposium! Great speakers @DrCheskes @TheSGEM and great workshops @ButterflyNetInc !

Health PEI is celebrating Family Doctor Day on May 19th along with the Canadian College of Family Physicians. Show your support by thanking family docs for all their hard work throughout the pandemic. #ThankYouFamilyDocs #AlwaysThere2Care #WFDD2022

Our association would like to express support for the @Health_PEI decision to introduce Adv Care Paramedics into the Prince County Hospital emergency dept. Together we can build a more resilient healthcare system all Islanders can be proud to call their own @IslandEMS

Congratulations to Dr. Scott Cameron on receipt of an honourary lifetime membership. "For serving as a continuous advocate with unwavering support for the advancement of the paramedicine profession on Prince Edward Island" @MSPEI_Docs @IslandEMS @Health_PEI

*NEW* Our Community Paramedics now have the capability to run a full blood panel (blood gases, electrolytes, and metabolites) from the bedside. The EPOC system is a very powerful decision support tool that will be used to support clinical excellence in our treatment planning.

Did you know that paramedics also work within #GeneralPractice? Paramedics can recognise and manage a deteriorating patient and can manage patients with long term conditions, minor injuries, and minor illness. https://t.co/MphHizgBse #PrimaryCareNetworks @georgette_eaton

Happy to have you Matt!

Thank you to the QEH ED to the entire staff who put themselves at risk willingly to look after patients in the COVID environment. They look after the highest risk of undifferentiated patients and do so willingly. #covidwarriors

NS has lost three very strong service women in the past month in the line of duty. There are just no words to explain the heartbreak our province has for their families, friends and coworkers. Rest in Peace Heidi, Abbigail, and Jenn.💔💔💔@RCMPNS @CanadianForces @CFSnowbirds

It’s almost impossible to comprehend such tragic events occurring so close to one another. We offer our deepest condolences to the @RoyalCanNavy @HMCSFredericton @RCAF_ARC and @CFSnowbirds teams.

Another PAPEI AGM on at 1300hrs today. If you’re available, it’s being held at 40 Enman Cr, mtg rm149. Come on down and have a say in the future of your profession. @IslandEMS @nicholson_brent

We stand with our brothers and sisters @rcmpmb at the loss of a fellow officer. Our deepest condolences to all involved.

Final report out on the UK's rotational paramedic pilot: think of what these programs could offer to rural 🇨🇦! Enhance & leverage the awesome paramedics already there and bonus of improving their worklife! @PAC_Paramedic https://t.co/y2sIsW7sJb

Billy McQuaid wins the top EMS research award at Dalhousie University EMS research day. The Dr Ron Stewart award being presented by Dr Stewart himself. Billy is a graduate of the UPEI BSc In Paramedicine Program and our first honor student. Way to go! Great day for UPEI!
