Background & Experience
About Me
Practising Emergency Ambulance Crew · St John Ambulance · North West England

I'm a practising Emergency Ambulance Crew (EAC) member and FREC 3-certified pre-hospital practitioner with St John Ambulance, deployed operationally across the North West at sporting events, national competitions, music venues, community events and blue light emergency response.

"Most people see a dance competition or a road race. I see the patients who might need me — and I make sure I'm ready for every one of them."

Clinical Background

My clinical training covers the full pre-hospital emergency care spectrum. I am competent in advanced airway management using OPA, NPA and iGel adjuncts, bag-valve-mask ventilation, 12-lead ECG, haemorrhage control, spinal immobilisation, blood glucose monitoring, and major incident triage using the START/METHANE protocol.

I administer medications to FREC 3 scope of practice — including adrenaline, salbutamol, entonox, methoxyflurane (Penthrox), naloxone, hydrocortisone, GTN, glucagon and oral glucose. Every patient contact is documented to PRF standard and handed over using ATMIST and SBAR protocols to receiving NWAS crews.

I hold PCV/D1, Category C and CERAD Level 3 blue light driving authority and operate response vehicles under full driving authority.

First Aid Training

I am a qualified first aid trainer holding CTLLS Level 4 (City & Guilds) and AAVRA Assessor credentials, with 200–500 learners trained across FAW, EFAW, BLS, AED Awareness and bespoke in-house programmes in corporate, community and clinical settings.

My training is delivered by a practising event medic with real operational experience — not just a classroom instructor. Delegates learn from someone who uses these skills in the field, every duty weekend.

Community Service

Before my clinical career I founded and operated a community foodbank in Blackburn. I serve as a Police Volunteer with Lancashire Constabulary's Mental Health Diagnostic Team, and I stand as Cenotaph Guard of Honour each Remembrance Sunday.

🏅 Award
Commissioner Commendation — St John Ambulance
Awarded for outstanding service

I am currently progressing my FREC 4 / Advanced Ambulance Practitioner qualification — the next step in my clinical development and the qualification that will expand my medication scope and patient assessment capability significantly.
