Halloween was horrendous this year, by far the busiest night. I don't think New Year's will come close either. Congratulations on the change of career. The Ambulance service is in a transitional state but there are some great opportunities opening up. Regards. Hi Lumo, thanks for the comment.

Congratulations on the change of career. The Ambulance service is in a transitional state but there are some great opportunities opening up.

I worked bonfire night and I have to say it was pretty boring. Nothing too out of the ordinary. Ah I've just noticed my blog in your blog roll - thankyou very much! Will reciprocate the favour :) Good post, and I like your blog. I worked bonfire night and I have to say it was pretty boring. Nothing too out of the ordinary.

We're in the first week of doing A&E Support for the NHS, so there's still some confusion as to what hours we're doing! We were due to finish at 0200, so when control had nothing for us at 0150 they let us leave at the first 0200! No we didn’t!

I had misread my diary. I worked the day instead. When the night crew came in they were peeved to say the least. They hate overtime and hate it even more when it's normal pay rate! Did you get the inevitable 0210 job? Hi On The Road,

I'm somewhat confused as to what to write on my PRF when I inevitably pick up a patient at 0230 and clear hospital at 0210. See, the logical thing to do would have been to say "between date x and date y, the normal working day will be 1000-1800, and between date y and date x, it is 0900-1700". Which idiot came up with that?! I’m also working that night, only I’m working across the change.
