Ground control calling Major @Curtis

Funnily enough I’m Mates with Jamie. We’re part of the BSB medical team

Alas I’m moving into GP land (9-5, better pay and better promotion opportunities) when I move although I was tempted to apply with GNAAS but wanted a more family friendly job and their base is over an hour away.

But I will be volunteering with Mountain Rescue and have blood bikes after me to do some riding so plenty to keep me going!!!

2 months til I’m out of London permanently

as a paramedic in the GP practice?
the other half was looking into doing that, but couldn’t find anywhere that actually was doing it.

Yeah, there’s loads of GP practices doing it now, under the umbrella of First contact Practitioner now

Where are they looking?

She was looking in London, but this was at the end of covid. She’s now a first aid trainer and enjoying that

So deals done and finally left London permanently.

Can’t say I’ll miss it, starting the new job on Monday.

Need to service the bike as it’s sat in storage in the garage for last 9 months and batteries flat as a pancake…despite being on an optimate as there was a power cut and then the optimate didn’t restart by looks of it

Best of luck with it :+1:

Good luck Curtis

Good luck mate. Sorry to see you go. Keep us updated tho!

A loss to the Big Smoke, and a massive gain to the Lake District.

Best of luck Curtis!
