More and more patients presenting with impressively full beards for anaesthesia/airway management. Don’t forget the Tegaderm or cling-film trick if struggling to get a mask seal. #plasticisethebeard -no harm to beard #lifesaving – at Warrington, England

@theoweston1 we have a pair of your socks at Penrith waiting for you. This is a great demonstration of holistic care. @BASICSNW Doctors don’t just provide critical care, they provide the softer skills too.

Great to hear about a commendation for Gary, one of our #Paramedic staff who stopped while off duty to help a critically unwell patient until the arrival of our resources, then stayed with the crews and assisted to stabilise the patient before transport to MTC - #inspirational

Does anyone have a small/portable capnograhy device (or monitoring device with etco2) they could loan to a good friend doing a 6 month project in Zambia?

Come on @Mazda_UK - this is keeping a vital @CSIBASICS responder off the road. @BASICSNW @BASICS_HQ @MrNickKnowles #team999
Coming on 4 weeks without my @Mazda_UK Just been waiting on one part for gearbox and no estimated date for delivery. Really poor it failed in the first place. So 4 weeks of no responding - at least 3 patients not helped by @CSIBASICS Not great @mazdaukpr. Thoughts @_HonestJohn?
