We launched a new resource – ‘When someone I love is in hospital’ – a workbook created and designed to be a tool for parents and caregivers to start a conversation with their child/children when someone they love is in hospital.
For the first time ever in the UK, we brought ECMO to the streets of London, offering hope to patients in cardiac arrest.
I started my career with the London Ambulance Service in 2003 as an Emergency Medical Technician and qualified as a Paramedic in 2007. Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to work in a variety of roles across the LAS, each giving me new experiences and challenges along the way. In 2016, I qualified as a Clinical Team Manager, a role that allowed me to support colleagues and help shape the care we deliver on the front line.
