Very grateful to my colleagues in @NEImmediateCare @STSFTrust & the North East Ambulance Service for all that they do to support patient care across our region.
Thank you also to those who support @NEImmediateCare especially @t_riple9 @BASICS_HQ @HelipadHELP @Gary_BASICS
Delighted to see @drmnorton featured by NEAS during Volunteers’ Week. Dr. Michael Norton volunteers for NEAS as a @NEImmediateCare responder and is also a trustee of the charity.

If there was one article you want to read as a clinician?
Read this
Via @jenna_taglienti - an absolutely stunning write in @JAMA_current
"Medicine can have extraordinary meaning. But it cannot substitute for being present in your own life. The world may need us as physicians.
But the people who love us need us as ourselves.
And that is the role no one else can fill."
Brilliant - and much love to you

Could you be the next Chief Pharmacist at the North East Ambulance Service?
A very important role for patients and ambulance colleagues across the North East of England from the Yorkshire border to the Scottish border and across to the Cumbrian border

Sunday at @BlackfriarsRest was fantastic. Lots of learning, lots of fun (and done excellent food!).
Thank you to @CiaraSNorton - this was a fab birthday present.
Thank you to Tony & Chloe for looking after us on the day.
20 yrs ago today, my friend Joe had a cardiac arrest at home.
The key here was early CPR & 999.
Ideally do a CPR course.
Even if no course, please start CPR in cardiac arrest.
Your hands can save a life - be the difference that person needs.
