Paramedic Clinical Educator -- Joe Karlek

Paramedics are some of the most unique and surprisingly fascinating individuals you’ll ever meet. Their journey begins with a drive to understand and help. They experience humanity at their best and worst times and develop empathy for those from all walks of life. They thrive under pressure and through necessity learn how to deal with physical, mental and emotional stresses, and often overcome personal challenges in creative and sometimes extreme or even quirky ways! Our guest for this episode, paramedic clinical educator and APC Trainer, Joe Karlek, is a perfect example. Joe grew up in the UK, where he studied and became a paramedic for the London Ambulance Service, before moving to Australia to operate a private paramedic practice and service professional athletes, the NRL and Warner Bros Studios. For the last 5 years, Joe was a lecturer of paramedicine at the University of Tasmania, before joining the training team at Australian Paramedical College. Joe is also autistic and in this interview, he discusses how he has had to stare down personal challenges and find a way to use them to his advantage. He says being a paramedic and an educator are a few of his superpowers, along with skydiving and mindfulness, which he credits as giving him an edge as a practitioner and educator.

Remote Area Paramedic -- Terry Urquhart, from Rescue-1

From the ambulance station, the event arena, to the extreme remote areas of outback Australia, careers in emergency health care would have to be one of the most diverse of any industry.   In this episode of the podcast, we interview Terry Urquhart - a business owner, entrepreneur and remote area paramedic, who alongside his wife Janet, operate Rescue-1, their family-owned training and medical services business based in Townsville, North Queensland.   For 20 years, Rescue-1 have offered first aid and WHS training and pioneered a highly specialized remote health and medical emergency service for remote workforces, including many of Australia’s largest mining exploration and infrastructure projects.   In this episode, Terry opens up the world of remote paramedicine, the growing demand for providers and jobs, and how the sector has evolved over the last few decades to serve as the highest safety authority for remote workforces.   TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE:  • The multifaceted role of a Remote Area Paramedic  • Providing health prevention vs emergency response services  • The story of the “Pipeline Paramedics”  • Resilience and why it’s critical to know how to change a tyre  • The importance of “family” in the service, and the short phone call that changed the course of Terry’s career  • The interstate three-tiered cake!  • How Terry invented the widely successful “Rescue Bandage”  • And more!   Paramedics of Terry’s experience and caliber are a very small count, which is why anyone who wants to learn more about the different career paths that emergency health care can provide, will not want to miss this fascinating discussion.   We trust you enjoy this episode as much as we did, and if so, please like it, rate it, write a comment or review and share it with a friend.   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   This Podcast is brought to you by the Australian Paramedical College – a leading provider of Emergency Health Care Training in Australia.    Find out more here: www.apcollege.edu.au/?utm_source=podcast   Not sure you have what it takes to become a Remote Area Paramedic?
