dscotblog.com for the show notes

Just me today, in front of the microphone talking about the process of taking a patient from one hospital to another
An important job in prehospital care, not the most exciting adrenal stimulating job out, but vital. Preparing yourself for the work can make your job easier.

David Still (@davidstill on twitter) and I get together and have a chat about CPR, training and terrible SMS networks!

Kicking off the newyear with a Podcast between my self and David Still from the ACT @Davidstill
David is a 4th year Paramedics/ Nursing Student (he was in 3rd when we recorded) who recently submitted a conference poster on the use of smartphone activation of public response for apparent public cardiac arrest.

He also participated in the FERNOSIM as a member of one of ACU’s Teams and we have a little reflection on how they could have trained better.

The link to my I-Tunes feed for the podcast are right here, please, if you enjoy it subscribe leave a review and come and interact on the blog or twitter.
If you haven’t already share the podcast with your friends, get it going around. Try and use the new year to get someone into #FOAMED
