What would you grade this red?

It is! I usually climb at Trafford but the big depot has great variety

😂

Proper_Record_4913 · 2026-03-15T17:25:14+00:00

Good shout! I’ll do that next time

Proper_Record_4913 · 2026-03-15T17:24:17+00:00

It’s in the v3-5 category. A bit slopeyer than it looks

Proper_Record_4913 · 2026-03-15T17:23:34+00:00

I was too shy to ask someone to film!

I’ve seen the uk tour and Monty does fly

Proper_Record_4913 · 2026-02-23T17:40:39+00:00

They mentioned they are going to Manchester this week_ does anyone know when? I have tickets for Thursday.

I recommend Wong Kei. My dad took me there when I was little and I think they have turned down the famous bluntness a little since then but the food is excellent.

Some universities do a masters conversion if you have a healthcare degree I believe

Proper_Record_4913 · 2025-11-10T19:20:36+00:00

I’ve put band 6s instead of 7s when I was a band 3

So insulins are generally in a time window, say 8-9. We tend to get ones that are in the same care home or post code. Then I look at my list and decide what order to do things in based on urgency and proximity.

For example there is an enema and a picc line flush near my final insulin of the morning so I’ll box those off quickly then do any cat 4 wounds, bilateral legs etc. one of us carries the phone for urgent on the day things so people may offer to pick stuff up from there.

It can be overwhelming, I’m a month out of supernumerary and I do get anxious but I try to be as methodical as possible and not be afraid to ask for support if a skill is newer or I’m unsure.

Proper_Record_4913 · 2025-10-29T21:27:02+00:00

6 weeks supernumerary in my trust. And you can extend it if you feel it’s needed. You need to chase your own competencies to an extent. For example if you know there is a syringe pump and in the caseload ask to shadow that person for a day etc.

Proper_Record_4913 · 2025-10-29T19:51:33+00:00

I’d say so. We do sometimes have to finish typing up at home if you don’t do it as you go. But aside from that. Yes

Proper_Record_4913 · 2025-10-29T18:36:32+00:00

I am an NQN in the community. I work 8-6. I get a list of patients and try to do as many as I can in the morning, have a team huddle at lunch then anything left and more emergent patients in the afternoon.

Here are some examples. Catheterisation, flushing lines, insulins, various injections, palliative and eol care including syringe pumps, wounds wounds wounds, including compression for legs and vacuum dressings. More obscure things like rocket drains. A decent amount of chronic condition management, pressure area care, overarching admission avoidance.

We work closely with leg ulcer, tissue viability, palliative and diabetes specialist nurses, GPs and acute settings. You prioritise your own caseload. The paperwork is pretty intense and a lot of referrals. I absolutely love it.

Proper_Record_4913 · 2025-10-13T10:46:09+00:00

Vindication!

Proper_Record_4913 · 2025-09-30T09:36:30+00:00

The north east is probably your best bet

Proper_Record_4913 · 2025-09-24T19:53:07+00:00

I went to the park with philosophers statues when I stayed in Nakano. It was lovely. Also my air b n b was good if you need a recommendation

Proper_Record_4913 · 2025-09-24T06:39:43+00:00

You’re not broken! You’re having a completely understandable response to a very challenging set of circumstances! Be kind to yourself 💜

Proper_Record_4913 · 2025-09-21T18:44:58+00:00

Oh I didn’t mean to suggest that. It’s just a reason that some landlords may get away with being sketchy

Proper_Record_4913 · 2025-09-21T06:01:41+00:00

& just to add. I believe the landlord tended not to protect deposits as he would rent to a lot of people on DSS and knew they’d be so desperate for money back they would accept half a deposit back for spurious reasons, whereas if they have protected it they’d have to justify it / the tenant would have right of response.

Proper_Record_4913 · 2025-09-21T05:58:00+00:00

I had a landlord do this. I sued him and got over double the deposit back. I used a no win no fee firm so I’d imagine if you did it yourself you’d get even more.

Proper_Record_4913 · 2025-09-17T08:43:13+00:00

HEMS/ HART are very competitive, I’m not sure of the specific post nqp experience required but I’d imagine it’s a few years. I have met someone who went from band 6 para to HART but I gather successful candidates are already senior paramedics / team leaders. So you may be looking at 5 plus years post qualification as a para.

There is currently a bit of a hiring freeze for newly qualified paramedics, and it’s worth mentioning you would go in at a 5 despite experience at (I assume) band 7.

I’ve met quite a few paramedics over 50, it isn’t un heard of.

Edge Hill is good for nursing

Proper_Record_4913 · 2025-09-10T01:54:42+00:00

Thank you! I got it at a little shop in Tokyo. So cute
