Super interesting talk from Jessica Thomas-Mourne at the EMRTS Wales CG day, discussing the barriers to women in HEMS 🚁. Some powerful quotes of lived experiences that are really thought provoking. Feeling super motivated to continue working towards a career in HEMS. Thank you!

I find there's nothing quite like a hike in the wind and rain carrying 25+kg of kit to liven the senses! Huge thanks to the members of the public who kindly stopped to offer me a lift back to my private helicopter on this dark lonely night! #HEMSlife

A small example of how my supportive employer @devonairamb enables me to fulfil 2 FT jobs as both a CCP & parent. Being able to attend #charity events & take my child does so much for: #inclusivity , #equity & engagement.

Early trip north for the College of Paramedics Critical Care Special Interest Group #CCSIG hybrid meeting representing Devon Air Ambulance.

We will review UK Critical Care scope of practice, core curriculum & PHEM syllabus, mindful to balance excellence with accessibility & diversity into CC!

One of the toughest things about prehospital arrests where ROSC is not achieved is knowing that pets no longer have an owner 💔🐶🐰🐱🐹 #HEMSlife

How I remember IO needle lengths...

Prehospitalists... how do you administer 1G of TXA:

This year our SPCC Jess met our founder Ann for the first time and in this article, describes how she felt meeting the mother whose grit, determination and desire for lives to be saved, led to the launch of an Air Ambulance for the people of Devon. ❤️🚁

With the cloud base below the 500ft minima for take off and landing Tim Nutbeam, Paul & I responded to an incident by car on #CC70 and had this un-ewe-sual encounter...

#HEMSlife

Early job followed by completing our 'check of the day' which, today, was checking the equipment and expiry dates of all our intubation modules! #HEMSlife

A simple #prehospitalpearl : on the way to a paediatric patient, add a glove to the relevant 'page for age' of printed JRCALC so you can quickly find rough parameters/airway kit sizes/certain drugs etc (& check guidelines for any drug deviations as per your trust's local policy)

It's a chundery sort of Sunday 🤢 #NonGlamHEMSlife

Booked on as DR004 in Exeter, So far 4 Cat 1 calls since 3PM! Had HART and HEMS for support. Thanks Devon Air Ambulance Laura Harris Jessica Thomas-Mourne for the help! #cfr
