Jerome on his way to a call-out.

London Ambulance Service paramedic Jerome Mowat writes about shifting from a climbing trip to the front line as he joined thousands of NHS staff in the fight against COVID-19. 

There are many healthcare professionals in the climbing community: doctors, physios, nurses, paramedics. I salute all of them in these unprecedented times for going out there and getting it done. And the climbing community as a whole for taking responsibility for their actions, closing the gyms and prohibiting outdoor climbing. Sometimes these measures can feel quite abstract, are they really necessary? But I assure you, they are. This may be one of the few times we truly are all in this together.

Brilliant piece, Jerome. I follow you on Instagram (as a climber!), but it's been eye-opening seeing your posts change to snapshots of your on-call life. 

Thank you so much for what you are doing.

I've read several broadly similar pieces recently, though none better written than this. Somehow, coming from a fellow climber, the message is even more stark and undeniable.

Thank you for sharing so vividly.

The most relevant account I have read since the lockdown. A real story from the frontline without a media angle. Thanks for writing and sharing this Jerome, thank you for what you and your NHS colleagues do for us.

I can't help but think that this article deserves a wider audience than UKC (no offence like). 

Have you considered sending it to newspapers?

Great to read, shared it among the student Paramedic community assuming that's OK, it's quite reassuring for us at the moment. 

Especially good to read you work ambulance shifts in the (allegedly) perma-hell that is London and still manage to climb hard ;p
