Pretty tired after a really busy fri sat and Sunday shift. It definitely flies by when there are a lot of patients but your feet and brain certainly know about it afterwards. I take my hats off to the guys who do it day in day out continuously,

I have been selecting, assessing and treating my own patients from minors and more recently from majors. I find majors a lot more time consuming as the patients often requir bloods, X-rays and advanced investigations. They are also less likely to be going home, or if they do it is with a much more robust and structured care plan in place. It is also extremely rewarding to receive a patient from ambulance crews, assess them and discharge them with consultant review, it also means my personal knowledge is increasing all the time, especially as I have the oppotunity to review all my patients with the consultants.

Getting pretty good at wound care and more confident working in majors although I still have a long way to go before I feel comfortable working there.

Apologies for poor grammar and spelling as I'm on an iPhone and trying to do several things at once as I write...
