It is widely rumoured that the new JRCALC will include IV Paracetamol. I have used it’s and found it to be highly effective. However it is expensive and just because it’s in JRCALC the Trusts don’t have to but it! Any thoughts?

POW use a quick system where the blocks are foam and cardboard and folds together and are quite good. Better than sandbag and tape at other hospitals. They do a good job and are disposable and are really cheap. Can't see why they couldn't be...

The Airwave Regional director still does bank shifts for us and there are no plans to change. All sets have been upgraded. I like them, they are 100% better than the old radios.

I think we've all gone machine mad. Look at the person in front of you and treat accordingly. Empiricism is a wonderful thing. A long long time ago in a UHW theatre, a gas man asked the question. 'how do you know this person is well perfused'?...

Doesnt really matter what we do in the UK we are still about 5 years behind the USA and even further behind the military. Sadly with the way the government and trusts are cutting back we are not likely to see any improvement soon.
