PHEM Feedback is a project which assists ambulance and air ambulance staff with patient follow up. I was lucky enough to catch up with two of the minds behind the project – Sinead Keane and Dr Gio Cracolici – about its origins, how it works, and how it helps with clinician's learning and patient outcomes. Check it out! -- Silas. References PHEM Feedback Sound recordist Jack Neuman Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A bit later than usual but better late than never, right?! This episode contains the second half of my conversation with consultant midwife Dawn Kerslake about maternity emergencies in prehospital care. We discussed ante- and postpartum haemorrhage, pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. As always, please get in touch with any feedback and feel free to leave us a review (5 stars optional but ideal...) -- Silas. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dawn is back! In this episode I was pleased to speak to Dawn Kerslake again, consultant midwife at South East Coast Ambulance Service, about the normal birth and some of the potential maternity emergencies that may occur in the prehospital environment. Hopefully you've heard the episode on maternity emergencies by The Resus Room (if not, I highly recommend) and my discussion with Dawn will go some way to complimenting that. Enjoy! -- Silas Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Happy October friends! In this episode I spoke to Lance Gray, paramedic and all round good guy, about his move from Australia and time as a critical care outreach practitioner. It was really interesting to hear Lance's experience of working as a paramedic in-hospital, as well as what it was like to be on the 'frontline' with the early COVID-19 pandemic. And for the international listeners, Lance had a few tips about moving to the UK as a paramedic.

Sorry for the delay friends, but I'm sure it was worth the wait (hopefully)... This time round I spoke with Jace Mullen, paramedic and all round great guy based in Colorado, Denver. We intended to discuss the differences between UK and USA practice but ended up chatting more about the similarities! Topics included EMS roles, education and training, specialties, referral and discharge, medications, the law, and (of course) cardiac arrest.

Aaaaand we're back! In this episode I was excited to speak to Dawn Kerslake, one of just two ambulance service consultant midwives in the country. We had a really interesting discussion about physiological births, complications, Dawn's experiences, and baby loss. Despite extra training, maternity cases are still stressful for me and so I found the content of this episode especially useful! I hope you do to.

Hello friends! Sorry for the delay on this one, I needed a bit of a break after the COVID episode... But I'm back, and in this episode I had a chat with my mate Andy about the mysterious world of HART. We discussed the genesis of HART, their additional capabilities, tips for effective teamwork at incidents, and how paramedics can get involved if they're interested.
