A brilliant thread ⬇️ by @WicklowRR on the important role of Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine in supporting patients, @AmbulanceNAS & colleagues across the acute hospital setting, many volunteer doctors involved including our v own @edsvuh @David_Menzies @svuh 👏👏
What is #Pre-Hospital #CriticalCare? A short 🧵: Also referred to as Pre Hospital Emergency Medicine (PHEM), #PHEM is “that area of medical care required for seriously ill or injured patients before they reach hospital (on-scene) or during emergency transfer to hospital” 1/11

If you are blood group O- your help is particularly needed this month to maintain supplies of blood products. This includes the 2 units of red cells and 2 units of plasma that we carry in our RRV - the only pre hospital service in Ireland to routinely carry blood products.
Because our supplies of O- are now under 2 days we URGENTLY need all our O- Donors to #giveblood this week & for the rest of Oct. Pls make every effort to give blood at ur local clinic. Check your eligibility here before making an appt https://t.co/Ddkf6gvJwi.
