Podcasts about air ambulance

On the Pre-Hospital Care Podcast, we spend a lot of time discussing clinical decision-making, operational challenges, and the science that underpins emergency medicine. But now and again, it's important to step back and remember why we do what we do. Behind every dispatch is a person. Behind every set of observations is a family. And behind every successful mission is a story that often continues long after the helicopter has landed and the ambulance has left.Today's guest is Shane Bradley. On the 27th of July 2025, what began as an ordinary day quickly became a fight for survival when Shane suffered a heart attack. Thanks to the rapid response of the emergency services, including the Devon Air Ambulance, he was transported to definitive care. His consultant later told him something few patients ever hear: that the helicopter almost certainly made the difference between life and death.Nearly a year later, Shane isn't simply reflecting on what happened. He's determined to give something back. To mark the anniversary of what he calls his "second chance at life," he's embarking on an extraordinary challenge: riding his motorcycle 1,000 miles in under 24 hours to raise funds for the charity that helped save him. This is a conversation about survival, gratitude, recovery, and the profound impact that pre-hospital care can have, not just on a patient's outcome, but on the rest of their life.

A Clare senator says there's "merit" in a proposal for an air ambulance base in Clare. The call has been made by the Friends of Ennis Hospital campaign group following the airlifting of a GAA player from the Loop Head Peninsula to University Hospital Limerick last week. According to HSE data, one fifth of air ambulance call-outs nationwide come from the Midwest region. Speaking in the Seanad, Ennistymon Senator Martin Conway says many parts of West Clare are simply too far away the Dooradoyle facility.

In this episode of the St Emlyn's Podcast, Iain Beardsell speaks with Anna Dobbie, consultant in emergency medicine and pre-hospital care, and Clinical Lead for London HEMS. Recorded at Trauma 2030 at the Royal College of Surgeons in London, the conversation explores what it means to lead exceptional teams in one of the most high-pressure areas of emergency medicine. Anna reflects on six years as Clinical Lead for London HEMS, sharing lessons on leadership, culture, psychological safety, difficult conversations, managing strong personalities, and supporting clinicians to do their best work. The discussion also touches on the unique nature of pre-hospital care, where teams move rapidly between downtime and high-intensity clinical decision-making, and where trust, openness and mutual respect are essential. Anna describes the importance of making sure all voices are heard, not just the loudest, and explains why leaders need to be consistent, approachable and willing to have honest conversations when things do not go as well as they should. Anna also reflects on learning leadership on the job, the value of formal leadership training, the challenge of maintaining boundaries when you care deeply about a service, and the relationship between London's Air Ambulance and its supporting charity. Finally, Iain and Anna look ahead to the future of trauma care and pre-hospital medicine, including research, ECMO, marginal gains, quality improvement, and the continuing ambition to reduce preventable deaths from trauma.

People living next to a building site in Medway say their lives have been made a misery by dust. The first phase of the Capstone Oaks development off North Dane Way in Lordswood will have 91 homes, but neighbours in Hampshire Close and Barleymow Close have complained. Hear from one of them who says construction noise is also an issue. We've also got a response from developers. Also in today's podcast, the Dartford MP has told us that lessons need to be learnt - after a major water supply issue at a Kent hospital. Patients and staff have been told not to drink or wash in water from taps in a large part of Darent Valley. The air ambulance charity covering Kent has raised serious concerns about the impact of the Iran war on the cost of fuel for their helicopters. Bosses say aviation fuel has risen by 63% since the start of the conflict which means the organisation is having to find an extra £25,000 a month to fly life-saving missions. Three lions have arrived at an animal park in Kent as part of a vital breeding programme. There are currently less than 600 Asiatic lions left in the world and Theo, Rakesh and Thor are settling into life at Wingham Wildlife Park. MD Tony Binskin has been chatting to us. And, the line up for this year's Pride event in Canterbury has been confirmed. It's celebrating its 10th anniversary and will return to the city's Dane John Gardens after they underwent a renovation.

In this compelling compilation series on Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), the conversation unfolds through the combined expertise of Mark Wilson and David K. Menon, offering a layered exploration of one of medicine's most complex and high-stakes challenges. Across these episodes, listeners are guided through both the immediate realities of head trauma and the deeper physiological battles that follow.Consultant neurosurgeon Mark Wilson discusses the fundamentals of head injury, focusing on brain injury, primary and secondary injury, venous drainage, and optimising pre-hospital management. As a specialist in acute brain injury at Imperial College and an Air Ambulance doctor, Mark brings a frontline perspective where early decisions can significantly shape patient outcomes.Professor David K. Menon joins for an in-depth exploration of TBI. As the Founding Director of the Neurosciences Critical Care Unit at Addenbrooke's Hospital, he has been instrumental in shaping modern understanding of TBI physiology, monitoring, and management. His insights illuminate the complex cascade of secondary injury processes that evolve after the initial trauma.Together, these episodes emphasise a central truth: TBI is not a single event, but a dynamic process requiring precision, timing, rehabilitation, and evolving clinical insight.

The Health Minister will be pressed to immediately enhance Clare's ambulance resources and provide a permanent air service during a visit due to take place in the near future. Jennifer Carroll MacNeill has accepted an invitation from the Friends of Ennis Hospital and is expected to survey the county before the end of the month. It comes just over a week after the Minister promised a full review into the expansion of Clare's health services, when unveiling the new hospital campus site in Raheen. Friends of Ennis Hospital Chairperson Angela Coll has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan that while a new hospital is the ultimate goal, ambulance deficits must be addressed now.

Host Lucinda Rouse is joined by Third Sector colleagues Emily Burt, Emily Harle and Andy Ricketts to reflect on three significant sector stories from the past month.Emily Burt draws attention to recent cases of charities declining to voluntarily recognise workers' unions. She questions the likely trajectory for union action in the sector in the face of increasingly challenging working conditions.Andy outlines different ways that charities are attempting to inform AI-generated Google search summaries and explains why this is important.And Emily Harle provides context to regulatory investigations into Stoke Air Ambulance, which advertised free helicopter rides for volunteers and supporters despite having no provision for air transportation at the time.Tell us what you think of the Third Sector Podcast!

You're about to hear a conversation about doing less. But it isn't really about doing less. It's about time. Recorded at Trauma 2030 at the Royal College of Surgeons, this episode explores a shift in mindset in pre-hospital trauma care — away from maximal intervention on scene and towards rapid recognition of the patient who cannot be fixed pre-hospital. I'm joined by Harriet Tucker — consultant at London's Air Ambulance, HEMS Governance Lead at Air Ambulance Kent Surrey Sussex, and Trauma Team Leader at St George's Major Trauma Centre — to talk about damage control pre-hospital care. We discuss: Using time as a treatment Recognising non-compressible haemorrhage Why one line may be enough Moving interventions into the ambulance Changing the pre-alert The “pit stop” resus Taking patients straight to theatre Cultural resistance to doing less Governance, debrief, and looking after teams This approach focuses on a small but critically unwell group of patients — often penetrating trauma with rapidly exsanguinating haemorrhage — where the only definitive treatment is surgical control of bleeding. The key intervention is speed. Harriet also discusses the governance work behind this change, the importance of reviewing every case, and how to bring ambulance services and in-hospital teams along with the shift in thinking. This episode is part of a series recorded at Trauma 2030. More conversations from the meeting will follow in upcoming episodes.  Upcoming events Harriet will be speaking at Tactical Trauma, 2–4 November, Sundsvall, Sweden.

In this episode of the World Extreme Medicine Podcast, we explore one of the most talked-about studies in pre-hospital trauma care: “Beyond IO and IV - Trauma Lines in Pre-Hospital Haemorrhagic Shock.”Host Eoin Walker is joined by Paolo Pallavicini, final-year medical student and research fellow with London's Air Ambulance and the Centre for Trauma Sciences, to unpack a groundbreaking study analysing over 8,000 trauma patients.They discuss:Why standard IV and IO access can be inadequate in exsanguinating traumaHow trauma lines can double pre-hospital blood delivery ratesSuccess, complication, and survival outcomes from the studyThe future of central venous access in pre-hospital carePaolo also offers key insights into the realities of working in a chaotic roadside environment, the importance of governance and training, and how clinical risk-benefit decisions are made when every second counts.Read the paper here.Find out more about London Air Ambulance Service.

In this episode of Akuttjournalen, we meet Eleanor Overgaard-Brown, a senior nurse in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and Patient Liaison for London's Air Ambulance at King's College Hospital. She works at the intersection of advanced critical care and structured patient and family follow-up.The episode highlights a critical yet often overlooked component of emergency medicine: continuity beyond the acute phase. Based on her clinical and operational experience, Brown discusses how structured follow-up, communication, and dignity directly influence patient safety, rehabilitation, and overall quality of care. The conversation challenges the notion that prehospital medicine ends at discharge, arguing instead that follow-up should be regarded as a core element of modern critical care.

There can't be many people in the world who've saved lives in hospital emergency rooms and also helped care for the wellbeing of astronauts in space – but Kevin Fong's career has followed a singular path: from astrophysics and trauma medicine, to working with NASA, to becoming an Air Ambulance doctor.Kevin is a consultant anaesthetist and professor of public engagement and innovation at University College London. He's worked on the front line in hospitals, dealing with major incidents and helping shape policy; but he's also stayed true to his childhood passion for space, working on multiple projects with NASA and even going through the astronaut application process himself. As if that wasn't enough, he's also become a well-known figure in science broadcasting through his various radio and TV shows.Speaking to Professor Jim Al-Khalili, Kevin admits it hasn't always been an easy path – but his passion for both space and medicine have got him through. And today, he's channelling his energies into ensuring we protect the NHS's most precious commodity: its staff.Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced by Lucy Taylor Revised for World Service by Minnie Harrop

This month we've got four cracking UK-led studies that really speak to how pre-hospital and emergency medicine continue to evolve, not just in the kit and skills we use, but in how we think about the whole patient journey. We'll start with a paper fromAnaesthesia with Pallavicini et al., exploring pre-hospital central venous access for patients in haemorrhagic shock. Drawing on London's Air Ambulance experience, it shows that large-bore central catheters can be placed safely and effectively, delivering earlier transfusion and improved survival to ED arrival. It's high-stakes medicine in extreme circumstances, and this study gives some of the best real-world data we've seen on it. Next up we look at the impact of a paper that's genuinely changed national practice from Aljanoubi et al. in Resuscitation, looking at what happened after the AIRWAYS-2 trial landed. You'll remember AIRWAYS-2 showed no functional benefit of tracheal intubation over supraglottic airways in OHCA, but did it actually shift behaviour? This registry study of over 70,000 patients shows that it did - and dramatically. The rate of pre-hospital intubation has fallen from around 44 percent in 2014 to 14 percent by 2020, with a clear inflection right after the trial's publication. Real-world proof that evidence can truly change practice. Then, we turn to two linked Delphi consensus studies from Tim Nutbeam and colleagues, published in the Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine. The first, optimising the care of the trapped patient, develops expert-endorsed principles for managing physically trapped casualties, marking a real shift from "movement-minimisation" to time-sensitive, patient-centred extrication. The second, prioritising time-critical injuries and interventions, complements that work by defining which injuries and treatments truly can't wait — creating a shared language for multi-agency teams at the roadside. Together, these papers show how thoughtful, collaborative UK research is shaping the next generation of trauma and resuscitation care — evidence, consensus, and practice all pulling in the same direction. These latter two papers are from the team at IMPACT; The Centre for Post-Collision Research, Innovation & Translation. We've been lucky enough to collaborate with the team and deliver an online Extrication course which is now available! A bit about the course; Target audience: Fire and Rescue Service personnel, Police officers, community response scheme members, and clinicians who respond to collisions or who wish to update their awareness of consensus extrication guidance. Aims: To improve awareness and adoption of evidence-based, patient-focused extrication principles among operational responders by providing a concise, accessible, and practical educational resource that bridges consensus guidance and real-world operational practice.Learning outcomes: The course will enable participants to: Describe the evidence base underpinning contemporary extrication practice. Apply a patient-focused approach to decision-making during extrication. Employ endorsed decision support tools, including EXIT decision aids, to case-based scenarios.
