Here's some really great advice for all of our student paramedic hopefuls wanting to apply. Sadly, some applicants are missing out on getting shortlisted because they haven’t filled out their application correctly. This information pack (https://t.co/eQ4j9AsSEA) has EVERYTHING you need to know before submitting your application! Vacancy closes on 27th June - apply via jobs.nhs.uk. Good luck! #studentparamedic #ambulancelife #jobvacancy #goodluck #workforus

For many of our staff, talking about their work comes naturally 😬 But it’s a different matter when you are speaking to not just your daughter but all of her class mates too. 😳 Yesterday @wmasNamiB attended the early years at Edward the Elder Primary School in Wolverhampton to help the kids learn how they can get help in an emergency: “I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I loved all your fantastic questions and you're all wonderfully behaved!” #learning #education #ambulance

Have you got what it takes to save a life? We're recruiting student paramedics to join a reserve list for upcoming courses in 2019/20! The vacancy, which closes on 27th June, has already had more than 6,000 views! Entry criteria: 🚑 5 GCSEs grade A – C including English, Maths & Science (accepted equivalents – more info on vacancy) 🚑 1 A level qualification in a subject (minimum 45 level 3 credit) 🚑 Patient/customer care experience 🚑 Full UK driving licence and already applied for C1 provisional license (this means you must have sent off your C1 application form including your medical D4 form to the DVLA at the point of application submission) Visit www.jobs.nhs.uk further information & to apply. Good luck! #studentparamedic #caringaboutyourcareer #ambulancelife

‪Sadly, we’re back on Critical Incident on @BBCOne at 9.15am. Why sadly? Because today you can hear how #Coventry #paramedic Neil Vann was knocked unconscious when he was head butted while trying to help a patient. #appalling #zerotolerance‬

Are you in the Army, Air Force or Navy? Are you looking for a new challenge? If so, have you considered joining the ambulance service? There’s info about a military open day on Wednesday at WMAS.nhs.uk - #studentparamedic Chris says it’s a natural fit between the two:

Important day for @wmasNicholasOld and his second year #StudentParamedic Tom who he’s mentoring. Tom has returned for his final placement from Coventry Uni: “Busy day so far, first case a critically unwell Sepsis case and then a variety since.” Do you know the signs of Sepsis? If not, have a look at the poster on the side of our ambulances. #mentor

Saw this post from @ResponseWMP on Twitter earlier and it didn’t make us very happy 😡 “Three @OFFICIALWMAS ambulances and 4 police response vehicles attending a report of a stabbing in Lye, Stourbridge. The call was a hoax and has used all these valuable services that are needed elsewhere. #Hoax #Wasteofpolicetime #wasteofambulancetime #disappointing

On Wednesday, we’ll be holding an open day for people who are either in the military or used to be. Come and find out more about joining the ambulance service. Chris used to be in the RAF and says it’s a natural fit, skills wise. More details at wmas.nhs.uk

Would you know what to do if you suffered a burn? some useful advice here from @wmasjonireson... "So many people don't know what to do with burns! If you cool then immediately and for a good amount of time (now at least 20 mins) the damage is significantly reduced." For more information - visit https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/burns-and-scalds/treatment/ #burns #advice #cool #running #water #20 #minutes

According to a former intelligence officer in the RAF, moving to the ambulance service would be an excellent move for just about anybody coming out of the military. Chris Booker who is a student paramedic with West Midlands Ambulance Service says after trying civilian life, working for the ambulance service feels like coming home. On Wednesday (19th June), the Trust will be holding an open day for those thinking of making the move. The Open Day, which takes place at the National Ambulance Training Academy on Dudley Road, Brierley Hill, runs from 10am - 4pm and is open to serving military, reservists, veterans, cadet instructors and military spouses. #military #open #day #ambulance #service
