Soon enough children will no longer have a childhood because they are too worried about impressing adults with knowledge and doing…

pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) Stella and her patient, Sally, who was diagnosed an incurable brain tumour and got a DNR order placed on her chart.

My interest in Policing was triggered through my A level studies. Units such as Families and Households covered in Sociology inspired my curiosity as to why people commit crime and how diverse family dynamics can influence this. Equally I have a desire to prevent people from committing criminal offences.

Throughout my undergraduate sport and exercise science degree at The University of Birmingham, I have become fascinated with the interaction between psychology and physiology and how this can affect the cardiovascular/immune system and ultimately, health. It was my dissertation and modules which first aroused this interest, and completing a critical essay, debating whether high or low cardiovascular reactivity to acute psychological stress is the most detrimental to health, further enhanced this…

I remember the moment very vividly. It was almost 0200. The halls are dark except for one very dim light, flickering. I’m sitting at a computer charting, waiting for my next call.
