Hazel, who carries up to 30kg of medical
equipment on her person, told students all
about the adrenalin rush of delivering a
baby at the side of a road and the horror of
treating burn victims for the first time. She
was also quick to show off her state of the
art defibrillator (a piece of equipment used
to treat cardiac arrests), which was very
exciting, particularly since we recently
reached the halfway point in our quest to
raise over £1500 to buy a defibrillator of
our very own at Parkside. Not only this, but
we even got to get hands-on and have a
proper look at the thousands of pounds
worth of equipment that paramedics carry
with them every day, and even tested our
own oxygen saturation levels and blood
pressure.

After many slightly obscure questions and a
few more sophisticated ones, Hazel seemed
to have convinced most of Year 7 and half of
Year 8 to become paramedics while offering
some very valuable advice to the Year 12s
hoping to study paramedic science at university. All in all the visit was a great success!
