<p>Johnny chats us through the urgent care section of the ambulance service </p> <p> </p> <p>Top 3 tips </p> <ul><li>With Urgent Care Patients, take your time. Ask yourself "What does my patient need, where best can that be achieved, and in what timescale is it required". </li> <li>Follow the BRAN principles: consider and discuss with the patient the 'Benefits', 'Risks', 'Alternatives' and what likely happens if we do 'Nothing'. </li> <li>Phone a friend: Professional to Professional conversations enable better decision making, greater access to records, pathways and services and ultimately get patients to the Right Care.</li> </ul> <p>Biography </p> <p> Jonathon Will started his paramedic journey with London Ambulance Service before becoming the Lead Emergency Care Paramedic for Croydon University Hospital. After the loss of his wife aged just 39 (attributed to poor care in an overrun maternity unit and a strong driver for his passion to make NHS systems better), Jonathon returned home to Scotland and worked first as a Paramedic, then Specialist Paramedic, and Trainee Advanced Paramedic, before moving into the Clinical Directorate. Moving on, Jonathon is about to become an NHS National Improvement Adviser for the Scottish Government as part of the Redesign of Urgent Care program. He is also Tayside Mountain Rescue medical Officer, works with several events and expedition companies and is involved with teaching and assessing for SMR, WEMSI, MRT, UE, Wild Fitness and more. Jonathon is Co-Founder of the 'Healthiest Town' project and is also a Kick Boxing instructor and a single dad - as he puts it... a busy little human! </p> <p> </p>

<p>Bernd and Hermann talk us through their research into performing CPR with restricted patient access. </p> <p> </p> <p>Three top tips</p> <p> </p> <p>1 - In an asphyxiated patient start ventilation as soon as possible </p> <p>2 - In a situation of restricted patient access, don't think about standard CPR, start ventilation asap, even if in a really awkward or alternative position.</p> <p>3 - Even minimal training makes a difference so regular training and practice of CPR is crucial and should be included in other training, such as avalanche training courses.</p> <p> </p> <p>Biographies:</p> <p> </p> <p>Hermann Brugger MD, born in Bruneck / Bolzano / Italy, December 30th, 1951; married to the painter Elfriede Gangl, 1978; children: Franz, Johanna.

<p>Responders of all types are focused on saving life but what happens if the scene becomes a crime scene? What is a crime scene and how do we manage this? Peter takes us through the roles, responsibilities of the police and responders at the scene and what might happen post the event.</p> <p> </p> <p>Key points from this podcast:</p> <ul><li>Understand that the Police aim is to save life</li> <li>Carry ID when possible</li> <li>Don’t touch anything you don’t need to – if you do, admit to it!</li> </ul> About Peter <p>After working in the leisure industry for 12 years in a variety of locations including London, the West coast of Scotland and Saudi Arabia I joined Northumbria Police in 1997 starting in Newcastle upon Tyne then moving to the Scottish Borders. In 2008, fed up with spending so much time driving to the highlands to spend time in the mountains, I moved house to Perthshire joining Tayside Police, which has since morphed into Police Scotland.</p> <p>As well as being a Sergeant , I am also involved in training officers in multi-agency response to Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) incidents. I have also been involved in planning the policing of a number of large events including T in the Park and the Ryder Cup.</p> <p>I am currently working as Police Scotland Search and Rescue Coordinator, the strategic link between the mountain rescue teams in Scotland and Police Scotland, the coordinating authority for all land based search and rescue in the country. I am also a member of the Police Scotland (Tayside) Mountain Rescue Team, deploying to incidents involving lost, missing or injured members of the public in the hills and other difficult to access areas.</p> <p>When not a work I can often be found walking my two collie dogs in the hills or paddling on one of Scotland’s many lochs and rivers in an open canoe.</p> <p> </p>
