Tom Reynolds works as a Emergency Medical Technician for the London Ambulance Service. He also blogs at Random Acts of Reality. A very gritty account of his very gritty job as a paramedic.

His blog works because you feel you are getting the full picture rather than some sanitised spun version of events. Sometimes these public sector blogs written under pseudonyms try to hide the authors and initially Random Acts seems that way because it doesn’t pull its punches and is free with its criticism of the Government.

According to Tom though, his employers are comfortable with it. In fact, so comfortable, he is speaking today at the Guardian Public Service Summit (at the opulent Sopwell House House Hotel in St Albans much favoured by footballers¹). His audience includes his big boss, the Director-General Workforce at the Department of Health, Gus O’Donnell and Ed Miliband MP amongst many, many others.

(¹At least Paul Gascoigne was there when I was a few years back)
