Some great ‘Information Processing’ by the @RCSI_EM_Sim teams yesterday. It’s the bedrock to sound Decision Making. It’s like drinking water from a hose sometimes and we need tools to actively manage the red side and promote the green side.

A great day yesterday at our Safety Stand Down. We heard from experts in finance, motorsports and aviation. 3 industries sharing a common drive to survive. Thanks to Eilish O Tuama, @GraceMoloney2 and @_markgallagher for their fascinating insights. #safety #performance

Our new Crew Resource Management Instructors, a mix of young (and old!) pilots together with Garda and Paramedics delivered their first initial course this week. Law enforcement, medicine and aviation relies on humans working in high consequence environments. #humanfactors

Pilot Essentials: A giant watch to let people know you are a pilot… in case you failed to squeeze it into the first 10 seconds of the conversation.
The @IrishAirCorps Centenary Watch has arrived!.To mark this and in recognition of the many veterans who ordered this timepiece, @RSCwatches have donated €1,000 to @OneFuchsia. Pictured is Lt Col Phil Bonner presenting the donation to Sgt Wayne Fitzgerald (Retd.) from ONE.

10 years ago we flew the first EAS mission. Seems like yesterday. Since then thousands have benefited from the partnership between @Irish_Air_Corps and @AmbulanceNAS. Teamwork making the dream work!

Great work by the staff of #AnCosantoir and Comdt Pete Smyth, marking 100 years of Irish military aviation. They even persuaded the (allegedly) busy @cathal1972 to put pen to paper on our relationship with the @AmbulanceNAS in the last 10 years of EAS.

Another great day in @RCSI_SIM. Amazing skills, and excellent teamwork. I appreciate them listening to an outsider who thinks Rocuronium is the name of a Eurovision Song Contest entrant.
@IrishEMtrainees @EMtrainingIRL trainees involved in #LiveDieRepeat simulation in @RCSI_SIM mock OR today. Future consultants dealing expertly with critically unwell patients.

This brave aviator taught me how to fly this thing a quarter of a century ago. He has fully recovered from the trauma. Great kick-off to Centenary celebrations this week. #IAC100

The similarities between aviation and medicine are often oversold but we do share a reliance on humans working in high reliability teams. Thank you to @RCSI_SIM staff and amazing @EMtrainingIRL students for listening to my rants. #humanfactors
