An overwhelmingly difficult job in an abused service. I salute all my @Ldn_Ambulance and country wide colleagues for all your hard work over the past few weeks!!! Hear, hear @doctor_oxford
I'll tell you what it takes, today's Daily Mail: 1. Above all, proper funding 2. Proper respect & pay for staff whose goodwill is endlessly taken advantage of 3. Government focus - not the toxic distraction of Brexit 4. Newspapers that don't routinely attack & sneer at the NHS

CPR is not a treatment for #ordinarydying. Every instance of futile CPR - which is what will happen if nobody has sorted out the protection of a DNACPR for someone whose life is coming to an end - is a tragedy. Please, doctors, nurses, patients, families - #havetheconversation.
