We're back after a 12 month break from recording with new hosts and a new take on what it is to be a shift worker! Join Sunny, Lou and Hannah as they welcome Hannah and delve into just how creative we can be in our jobs and seeking feedback from those below us.

We got a letter from an avid listener. A handwritten letter with a wax seal. They had some great questions about analgesia, working as a clinician while they are a student and the toll of the job. 

This was a topic that came up over coffee. We hit record and wanted to see where the conversation would flow. Check it out!Join the TSE community today.

You hear comments like "paramedics need to gain experience to be competent". This is great in theory, but not in practice. Not all paramedics can gain vast amounts of experience simply by the nature of where they work and the role they work in. Is this, ok? Should we or could we replace experience with training? Join the TSE community today. Access member only content and discounts on events.

The title says it all. Have a listen, tell us your thoughts. 

This is part 1 of a series called "Paramedicine outside the truck".  Yes, there are plenty of places you can work as a paramedic outside of an ambulance service. This series will highlight a few. Today we talk about festival medicine, and what goes into keeping people safe. 

Sunny proposed this question about 6 minutes before we hit record. This is an unedited, unplanned chat that might surprise you.
