About Me

My photo
Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom
I am a father of two, who has been a paramedic for 15 years and a professional photographer for around 5. That is until recently, from the 1st of May 2017 I will no longer work on the frontline full time. Instead I have made the transition from specialist paramedic to advanced practitioner and will be working full time in primary care. This blog will chart the development of myself from my current role of specialist paramedic to an advanced practitioner. In the last year I was diagnosed with Ankylosing spondylitis. Which is a degenerative condition which affects the spine. While this diagnosis saddened me obviously. It also came as a relief as I had struggled for over a year and had no idea what was wrong with me. So the diagnosis also came with some relief as I finally had a name to put to my condition. It did help me to look forward and consider a new career pathway. I am the first paramedic to work in primary care in my practice area. This is quite an accolade.

Social Documentary essy

Social documentary essay.

I had reached a bit of hiatus with my essay after handing my draft in to my tutor.

My tutor guided me in the right direction and suggested that I add more of a critical element to my essay. So I got several books from the library and copied pages from other books and got reading. She was of course right, unlike the odd person I am wise enough to recognise good advice when I hear it

It took a while to gleem the relevant information, but as I  started to compose the slides for my talk things started to get a little easier. Today I looked at my essay again and started to finalise it further, by now all my e.mails that I had sent out to various photographers had arrived. This was very helpful in putting the finishing touches to the essay.

All in all I have enjoyed the essay and felt it was a very enjoyable and rewarding process. It is great to be self directive in your own study and I feel I have developed greatly in such a short space of time.

While I accept that I am never going to be the best essay writer in the world I do think I have learnt and developed futher from doing this and all the other essays and will no doubt improve further the next time I write.

Fingers crossed for my talk on Thurs.
