 And this video is for the collaboration with Claire Carmichael again every time I see a name, right? I'm gonna mention that said your name right and this part of the video is basically What how I think paramedics and nurses are able to work together to give the most effective emergency care for a patient So in paramedics they'll be going out to those situations where they will be giving life-saving care We give the primary Emergency care we don't give that secondary care as soon as we take that patient to the hospital We will hand them hand that patient over to the nurses and then they take care of that patient from then on really Basically, they are absolutely brilliant at doing that. They are at nurses are absolutely brilliant at taking care of patients in the long run Run not one not driven wass. Anyway, um, they're actually great at taking care of patients in that long-term care Paramedics that they are great at taking care of patients in that short-term Emergency care and that's and that's how paramedics and nurses able to work together. We I would keep that patient alive and healthy for that Time span from that incident to the hospital and even if it's transferring patients because we will be seeing nurses quite a lot and We'll have that kind of mutual understanding of what's going on. Obviously once I start paramedic science I will get to know How they're able to work together more and how they're able to you able to use both their clinical skills together Obviously, there are going to be things that are the same in both paramedic science and nursing but Before uni I'm I'm not the best that basically saying how they are able to physically work together Just because I haven't done that yet and once I do do that. I'll be a lot better at it I just I know that The paramedics are able to give amazing emergency care and once it gets handed over to the nurses they are able to make those Big big choices of the rest of that patients care I mean they are a paramedics nurses doctors even midwives are able to work together as a team to save a patient's life Once we are in that hospital We are able to hand over to that nurse or that doctor or that midwife Basically, what has happened to that patient and any past Problems with that patient So nurses are bring that sort of stuff once I do get into uni and I'm able to learn how we are able to Really communicate with nurses and really Help save someone's life with a nurse and have that multidisciplinary kind of team to you know Give that patient the best care pathway and Beth best healthcare pathway that we possibly can and maybe Hopefully save that patient's life, which is absolutely brilliant to think about how people are able to work together like that You know, they're in such you know, they're in different positions like emergency care long-term care and doctors. They are just Absolutely insanely fantastic about that sort of stuff But yeah, that's just been kind of a little quick overhaul I haven't really got too much information on it to be honest with you because I'm not in uni So I'm not the best that given it and the best person to give this to kind of say this sort of stuff To is probably Claire because she's in uni and she will probably be she will be learning how Paramedics and nurses are working together. So obviously if you are on my channel and give a little look at Claire's channel and She's brilliant that sort of stuff. Obviously, please come back to my channel as well Because once uni starts once I we do start uni then it all becomes real then all this information will be Coming into my mind straight to your minds So yeah, that's been me basically saying how I feel nurses and paramedics able to work together to hopefully save a life It's been torrent guys. I'm really happy doing this collaboration Claire. It's been absolutely amazing and Since it's the first time I've been doing it. It's been completely surreal Being out somewhere in the city. It's been insane seeing other youtubers and you know, it's just I can't really describe how thankful I am that we're even in the position we are in now But yeah, thank you guys so much. Like and subscribe and see you soon So wherever you are working as a nurse, you will probably come into contact with paramedics Because if you're out in the community Definitely because they are the first point of call and I know as a general practice nurse If I've got a patient that's collapsed or they haven't suspected heart attack and they've come into me I'm going to need to be on the end of that phone probably to Kyle Kyle come on Come and sort this patient out for me because I haven't got a clue I have got a clue but they're going to need emergency care that I can't provide out in the community and Paramedics are going to be so useful to me and You can't think you're never going to see a paramedic whatever area of nursing you're going to be in because you will see a paramedic And when you're working on the wards as well, you might get paramedics bring a patient straight up to your ward Or into A&E if you're in A&E you're going to be working hands on with paramedics. So Your communication with a paramedic is going to be on point It has to be on point because you need that tight communication between each other to know Exactly what's going on with your patient and what they need from you to make them better and not only that but handovers Massive thing at the minute that we're doing at university is all about hand and over to somebody else or taking that hand over So if you're the nurse on A&E receiving that patient or on award You're you're having that patient brought into you by the paramedic You need to know everything about that patient before that paramedic leaves Because when that paramedic is gone from your setting You're with that patient and you're going to need to know everything You're going to need to know the allergies the blood pressure all the observations about them What tests the paramedics have already done that could be helpful to you Anything that's going on with that patient you need to know every slight detail could be important Not only that but when you're handing over a patient So if I'm in general practice, I've called the paramedic. They come out I'm going to have to hand that patient over. They're going to need to know that everything every detail that Is wrong with that patient in that moment of time I need to make sure that my communication to that paramedic is clear so that they understand it's precise And that they've got all the information they need because they need to take that patient They need to assess them. They need to manage it and figure out where that patient needs to go So then they need to then Hand over my information their information onto A&E and maybe award So it's just a knock-on effect. So from the off go your communication has to be on point And we've been learning lately what we call an s bar tool. I'm going to put the link below for the s bar tool And the s bar tool is basically it's s bar And it is literally situation background assessment recommendations. So you're passing over That's your handover. You're telling them the situation Patience background your assessment and what you've done. So that could be observations and things like that And recommendations. So you're going to tell them, okay, I've done this. I've given them IV fluids I've given them paracetamol. I've given them antibiotics. I've done this I've given them aspirin if suspected heart attack or stroke So any advice from you that I can do next while I'm waiting for you to arrive So that's one of the things that you have to do for recommendations And also get the person to repeat back what you've said to them so that you know They fully understood all of your information that you've handed over It's important for nurses and paramedics to work in collaboration You have to have that tight collaboration. I feel with paramedics And that goes across the board wherever you work And it is literally down to communication communication body language You know open body language be friendly don't be fretting in I've only ever had to call out the paramedics once And that was when I was working on my bank shifts out in clinic and we had a patient collapse And they weren't coming round and we're like, oh my god, but they were breathing everything But we were really worried about them and so that's when we had the patient and that's the only time I've had to deal with paramedics Which is lucky for my patients, but I love it. I love knowing more about different Areas different fields of nursing different fields of the healthcare system So the paramedics what they do initiatives doctors surgeons I love to know because we're all a team together We're all this massive jigsaw puzzle that are making this huge picture Which actually creates your patient because that's your end result So you've got your patient you've got all these pieces that people are inputting To make up your patient and your patient care and that's so important I think if you are looking to go into nursing or paramedics, please do it Whichever you choose you're going to have an amazing career and love life And that's it from me. So how can paramedics and nurses You know comes together and provide effective care. I kind of changed that question a little bit, but It's kind of the same thing But me As paramedics, we are going to be with nurses all of the time, you know handing over to patients. Um So the thing I would probably say Communication is massive When the ambulance service you need to communicate with the nurse effectively Because when when we hand over the patients to the nurses, we need to get everything across We need to get all the you know that Claire mentioned all the allergies Um everything that we need to come across because of that What we say is going to benefit the patient obviously when they accept the patient over as well They will do a you know a proper head-to-toe examination But everything we give would would help that patient In in his care that he's going to receive at the hospital So I would say communication is massive listening skills is also a very important thing as well You're going to be handing over to the nurses But listening to the questions they have as well is also very important Uh, if you're going to give the best care Strictly because if they ask you know as his patient got such and such or such and such If you're not really listening to the nurses There's no point in you even going to give handover Uh You giving that handover is a very very important for that patient And if you're not listening to your peers or to the patient when they say, you know, I'm allergic to penicillin If you're not listening It's not it's not good. It's not it's not good. So listening skills is very important If you're going to be collaborating with nurses to provide an effective not just pre-hospital care But and a hospital care as well is very important, you know in even in emergency medicine is very important Paramedic and nurses are trained You know very very high In order to deal with, you know difficult situations And sometimes paramedics would you know take over a situation And sometimes, you know, if if paramedic is not sure they would hand over to the nurses Uh, for example, if A said patient had a bleed We would get them to hospital as quickly as we can and then hand them over Um to the nurses at the hospital There's some jobs that the nurses Couldn't do in a pre-hospital and that's what that's what out us paramedics are there But there is also jobs that the paramedics couldn't do Pre-hospitally and we have to hand them over to the nurses. So it's very important that we Work effectively in order to meet in the middle, you know, it couldn't be it wouldn't work if the nurses would You know come into the pre-hospital care You know, it's very important to meet in the middle with nursing and paramedics Um to provide the best care for the patient Um, and you know obviously on his journey through the the pathway of care Um and providing effective care for that patient as well um, so The collaboration with me and Claire is kind of important because I wanted to You know support nurses. I wanted to support paramedics The the care that they do that the care they provide for the public every day 24 hours a day We take it for granted and there's people working out there like me and Claire who are studying our lives You know staying our lives our lives a way to You know provide care we want to provide effective care for the public Um, if you didn't then you wouldn't be going into the sort of job if you get one Me and it would affect you that much that you give up you're going to have difficult shifts on placement Obviously Claire will tell you she's been on placement You're going to see some stuff that you don't want to see You're probably going to get abused on the front line as a paramedic and nurse Um, you're going to deal with stuff that you probably didn't even expect you to deal with In difficult cases as a paramedic you're going to be dealing with mental health cases You're not even really trained for we're trained to give you know these medicines to You know when people go into cardiac arrest Um, you know nurses are very trained highly in dealing with in this situation about that as well But when someone struggles with mental health It's very difficult. It's very very difficult. Um, you're going to be seeing stuff that you don't want to see Um, so if you don't want to go into the into the profession You're not going to go very far but If you have what it takes if you Have the passion and determination to Achieve your dreams and you want to provide effective care for the general public It is the profession for you. Um, and I hope this video has helped people You know, I hope it inspires people to join You know the paramedic science or nursing or maybe they will like to go into midwifery They've watched this video and thought actually, you know, they are following their dreams and just because grades You know, you might have a really tough time in school You've had a cry You've got yourself a cup of tea or coffee or a refreshment and you thought you know what I'm going to do this and if you just left school And you're sitting there on your bed and you think You know Did I have to did I have to do bad in school? Look at different options Go to your local college your local sixth form and say, how can I get into the sixth form and make a plan of success? That's what I did. It sounds really silly, but Where's your next step going? Don't stand still. It's very it's very easy just to stand still and not progress anywhere Make steps forward in the right direction And eventually I promise you That it would all be worthwhile in the end and to all you nurses paramedics out there. Um I respect you and thank you for providing effective and efficient care to us Like thank you to much from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.
