It's official!

Well, it's official!! I'm a qualified EMD. I took the exam at 2pm this afternoon, and I passed with flying colours apparently.

The exam itself was quite easy, we were allowed to use the cardsets so if there was a question which involved having to use the triaging system or something, we had the correct card with us.

I'm really enjoying the training, most people are really friendly and the work itself sounds like it will be exciting too. The best bit about the whole thing? I get paid to talk!!!

Welcome

Welcome to my blog, people.

I started training to be an Emergency Medical Dispatcher (EMD) on 19th November 2007. I really hope I'll be able to make a difference to the lives of people who use the ambulance service, but I'm also all too aware that it gets abused by people who are unaware that they are NOT the only person in the entire county who isn't 100% fit at that precise moment in time!

Join me to see what life is like for an EMD in the 21st Century - you never know, it could be interesting!
