Something that maybe all operational ambulance staff should do? Regular fitness assessment to make sure your still fit and capable of doing the job physically? 🤔🤔🤔

Did you know? Our crew members undertake regular fitness training for operational readiness🏋️♂️
As well as gyms at the base, we also come together for circuit training and support each other to be ready to fight to save lives 💪

Surely by being outside the cycle lane your forcing other road users in to the other lane regardless if oncoming traffic or not, if you were single file and in the cycle lane they wouldn’t be forced to do it. Cycle lanes are there to keep cyclist and other road users safe use it

31 miles in a shift 😂😂😂 good thing there not doing it based on wales trucks when we can cover anything from 100-180 miles in a shift. 31 miles can be just one job for most. Go to powys and probably Even more lol. Get on board raise some well needed funds.
Looking for a new fitness challenge this winter? 👋
We're calling on Londoners to beat the 31 miles ambulances cover in a shift and raise money for our Charity!

Not just a UK problem it’s an even a problem on the other side of the world. What’s the answer what’s the solution?? It’s not a quick or easy fix. Is it public education? Is it more hospitals? Who knows but we need to mitigate the risks for those waiting in the community.
On 27 Dec there was significant ramping across Adelaide. Tragically a 54 yo male in Hectorville passed away after waiting >10hrs for an ambulance to arrive. This highlights the upmost importance of EDs clearing ramped ambulances to respond to the community 💔.

Medical responding is growing, such a great idea being done in different ways in different areas. There’s a pool of staff who could be vital not just for life threatening calls but maybe even the lower calls to be able to get a clinician on scene and assessed and treatment start.
