Had to pause and type this : it’s is a long ranty one, sorry guys and gals and sorry if it doesn’t make sense to some. If there are any spelling mistakes I’ve got a banging migraine
1) In one of your previous videos you said you were “lead” on an ambulance. That would allow any member of the public to assume you were senior eg: Paramedic. The uniform is all the same and only distinguished by epaulettes. Not that there is any kind of “paramedics are better than a tech”- techs become your backbone, your best friend and greatest support however a Paramedic takes FULL accountability and responsibility of the patient and any “mistakes” a technician may make.
For anyone that isn’t medical, honestly, if someone said they were the “lead” on an ambulance what would you presume?
2) POTS would be recognised under the Equality Act and therefore reasonable adjustments could have been made - attend only or redeployed. It’s unlikely you’d “lose your job” for having a health condition. Unless you were off sick 99% of the time.
3) If you had “lost your job” on ill health grounds then how would you manage to get it back in a matter of months - ”front line”, but you’d have had to surrender your licence for the group 2 standards and it would take MONTHS and multiple health reports to obtain that back?
4) A “Resus trainer or officer” requires a professional DEGREE in relevant healthcare (OPD/ Paramedic/ Nurse - IHCD is not) whether that be via NHS or agency (Indeed) and are generally Band 6/7 roles requiring significant experience and knowledge in resuscitation. Google is free for those that want to check.
5) A Resus trainer within a hospital would also carry an arrest bleep and they would have to be very experienced and confident in different kinds of ALS / ILS including Paeds. I’ve never heard of an NHS “resus trainer” going into schools. That’s what campaigns like restart a heart are for etc.
You also MUST have the relevant TEACHING /trainer qualification from the Resuscitation Council which are very hard and competitive to get onto - you’re actually “cherry picked” so to speak and you’re identified as someone who has “instructor potentials”.
Yes you can do the off CPD courses BUT it’s a different story for training. As a TECH you would NOT be administering any medication during a cardiac arrest (even under supervision) that is left to the Paramedic. Therefore you would have no relevant knowledge or experience to teach this other than going to arrests and working as part of a team.
Simply, it’s like a HCA teaching a nurse how to administer IV meds despite not being trained/insured/qualified to do so. In terms of “airways” basic yes, intubation absolutely not.
6) You would never have been allowed to work during the pandemic “front line” due to your alleged health conditions. Anyone that was remotely vulnerable was removed from frontline duties and redeployed into other roles.
7) Yes most clinical staff are mentors. That’s part of the job.
8) On your return to “frontline duties” you obviously still had pots at this time so how were you driving under blue light conditions? Let alone being at work with “severe asthma” and other conditions which could have proved fatal mixed with Covid. So were you “allowed” to administer drugs (other than those in a tech remit) as an “Resus trainer”? Again, using the term MEDIC which is associated to those with a PROFESSIONAL REG (doctor/ paramedic). You claim to be a “technician”.
The end.

just a few things, your victim mentality doesn’t actually make you a victim. The delivery driver had consent to enter the building when an order was placed for an item that he was tasked to deliver. He doesn’t need YOUR consent to enter a building that doesn’t belong to you to do his job. The building is not, in fact, your house. You remain in the wrong.
