On 13th of September Duncan Brown came to give p5/6/7 a tour around his ambulance. We went in groups of 6 and 7 to see the inside of the ambulance. He took Charlotte , Kirstie , Kayleigh and Finlay’s heart rate reading. After giving us a short briefing of what he does as an ambulance driver, he let us try his stethoscope and his helmet and showed us what everything does and what the equipment is for. He showed us his bag that he takes into every emergency; it had injection syringes, oxygen tanks, bandages, plasters, IV cables and equipment to help patients breathe. The bag was really heavy and full. We all got a shot on the wheelchair that he uses to wheel patients into the ambulance and down or up stairs or ramps. P.5-7 all enjoyed Duncan’s visit and learned lots. We all look forward to the next time he comes as he’s promised to come back in a couple of weeks to tell us more!
