How refreshing to read a balanced, informed discussion. I wish all threads were like this... Well done everyone involved and keep up the good work.

He is a door supervisor / security guard who has a done an FPOS and pead course. And good on him. More people should stretch themselves rather than getting away with the minimum one-day First Aid course or, worse still no course! Where does it say he wants to "make it in the Medic field"...

DHR9 Thanks for the post. It is always good to hear feedback on courses. I notice this is your first post; thanks for stepping up and welcome to the forum. As BearUK pointed out you have indeed spelt practicals with an apostrophe. I would rather read a well meaning and thoughtful post...

A number of supraglotic airways can be used as conduits for tracheal intubation with the aid of fibreoptic observation, but not blind. Article The SALT allows for a high success rate in blind intubation (as long as it is within your skill set blah blah blah...) NPA, OPA and...

I saw this piece of kit on the PPA's EMT-B course last week. Imagine a single piece, single size, plastic tube with no moving parts that is a basic airway for BLS (compatible with BVM) and for ALS allows for blind intubation with a ridiculously high ( soemthing like 98.9%) success rate even in...

Q:How do you know there is a Doctor in the room? A: Don't worry, he'll tell you. Q:What's the difference between God and a Surgeon? A:God knows he is not a Surgeon Thangyouverymuch. I'll get me coat.

"Do as little as you need, not as much as you can" "If you think training is expensive - try ignorance"

PM Sent mate.

I like the look of the 5.11 Rush, Starlight and you are absolutley right; just because it doesn't say "such and such" in the title does not mean it is no fit for purpose. Marketing really grips my bits. The Conterra Crossbow has a loyal following stateside with civvie wilderness medics but...

Have just found this new app for incident and casualty reporting and recording based on the US SOAP format: SOAPNotes App

Cheers Rob / Locky68; I had Pre Hospital Care stuck in my head and kept thinking "Why would they need to do more Pre Hospital training?" [where is the Mongo emoticon when you need it ;) ]

Sorry for being thick ( but I firmly believe in asking if you don't know!); what is PHC and EHC, just for ref. Cheers.

The Full Report is here (although Macca10's summary pretty much covers everything they mention ref: First Aid training). The Governments response is also available here. "There is a requirement in the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 for HSE to consult on changes to its regulations. The...

I currently enrolled on the accelerated EMT-B course. If I had the time available I would choose to do the full-stretch course. All I can say this far in and handing over a fair wad of cash to people I have never met, I have had good communication with Peter and Nick and the course manual...

Thanks for that Seadog - that's a new one on me so good to know. I've just ordered the AMLS manual and will sit dopwn with that and have a browse of the IMPACT website. Cheers.

Sorry I can't help Scartissue... But I like your style ;)

Thanks for that M4MED - I hadn't at all considered the AMLS; I assumed it would be rather limited to Nurses / Doctors and set in the hospital environment ( like ACLS / ATLS ); The course book looks a good text and has guidance for all roles from 'First Responder' up. The first course I pinged...

Spot on MM - thanks for that.

Covert: Thanks for that, already looked - there are a few big players here on this forum and a few smaller specialist businesses and I'm all for sharing work among the community but most of the companies with a presence on here are more geared towards trauma. Phecta: Thanks for the offer - we...
