KidConfident - Paediatric FOAMed & CPD for UK Paramedics

- Paediatric FOAMed & CPD for Paramedics & other pre-hospital clinicians (UK) But as a teacher, how do you know where to start?

Research has identified a broad difference in paediatric training, knowledge, experience & confidence amongst paramedics across the UK. KidConfident hopes to help address this by providing an overview of available learning resources, and an archive of the posters requested by Paramedics in the stations where the posters are displayed. With education and exposure, confidence will grow - with your suggestions, this resource will grow! It can be daunting to be faced with having to manage a paediatric emergency, especially if not a paediatric specialist. Paramedics are not immune to this and their knowledge, training opportunities & exposure to paediatric medicine varies enormously across the UK. How do you know which topics will have the greatest impact on patient outcomes and clinician well-being? I decided to ask - and this is the result - KidConfident.org provides a mechanism for paramedics to request learning topics, by simply tapping their smart phone on the KidConfident poster displayed in their station. Educational posters are created depending on the most popular topics, and then displayed on station & online (here). Along with a directory of the very best learning resources out there - it should have something to cover everything! It's a new idea. Let's see if it works!

🚑 Emergency or Just “Essential”? You Decide! 🚑

Apparently, there’s some debate over whether the ambulance service is an emergency service or just an essential service. Funny, because last time we checked, racing to cardiac arrests, major trauma, and life-threatening emergencies wasn’t exactly a non-urgent hobby.

🔥 Fire? Emergency.
👮‍♂️ Crime? Emergency.
💀 Someone not breathing? Essential, apparently.

Call us what you like, but we’ll keep doing what we do best—saving lives, patching up the public, and wondering if we’re actually an emergency service… or just really, really keen first-aiders with a van.
