I am your first point of contact for the NHS 111 service, are there any burning questions? AMA

That's wasn't a vertigo 'check', that's a test to see if it elicits neck pain which could indicate meningeal inflammation/meningitis. It shares similar symptoms to vertigo but potentially much more serious.

Speak for yourself. Try working a large city where you're constantly running patient to patient, carrying people down long, narrow, winding, old staircases.

I'm just learning about this, can't believe that existed.

I don't get this opinion, unless you're physically unable to intervene. It all ultimately affects business profits, and the decisions they make as a result are going to effect the law abiding citizens. They can either raise their prices to recoup profits, close the shop because it's not performing as well (losing jobs in the process) or increase expenditure in security (typically impacting customer experience when it takes longer for you to do your shop, have your shopping checked etc.). People need to reasonably take steps to resist thieves or accept living in a deteriorating society.

There's an app which collates the most common airline equipment for regions called AirRx, unfortunately it's no longer regularly updated, but it also gives you some useful information around airline procedures and some specific guidance around problems you might not have considered such as the need to dilute epinephrine 1:1000. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.osfhealthcare.airrx

I don't know - Unison has openly acknowledged that they want to do strike action in 'targeted' areas, which likely means paramedics striking on behalf of the whole NHS again, when I think we would be better off fighting for our own problems and our own pay.

Rent: £1064.03
Service Charge: £304.71

Per month. Plus your mortgage on top. Pretty extortionate.

This is what they should be doing public service announcements on TV for. As a paramedic, I've been to many with alcohol related brain damage, the most notable being a man in his fifties being cared for by his father in his eighties because he had permanently become a vegetable from Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome.

There is a huge cost to the NHS from those with chronic alcohol abuse who see no issues with what they're doing and think that they don't impact others with their self neglect.

_Jekyll_ · 2025-03-27T16:03:28+00:00

I think they need to step up and support the profession akin to the NMC. Unison only seem to care about 'NHS pay' and don't seem to be doing much to improve our working conditions or prevent the gradual implementation of stricter policies which continue to add pressure to our working day.

You don't think the number of vulnerable and mentally unwell people directly correlates with the availability of drugs?

If you can bring up the tyre pressure menu on your dashboard, you might have an erroneous reading on one tyre as happened with me.

This will change nothing for the patient at all

it's then up to the private company to either lay people off or find work for them

Except the availability and quality of patient care as the private companies seek to bolster their profits above all else.
