Not that I can add much to this excellent description by @emmanchester.bsky.social, but there's a touch of a confounder. The biggest model we have for "non physician HEMS" is also the country that has some of the lowest standards for EMS education. www.stemlynsblog.org/physician-le...

JC: Do physician led prehospital teams improve outcomes?
What is the impact of physician-led interprofessional pre-hospital teams on mortality outcomes for critically ill and injured patients.

This point on preparing for #PHEM application is equally valid for #paramedics aspiring to specialist practice Spend majority of time building your CV doing things you enjoy to meet person spec If you don’t get in then you won’t feel like it was a waste of your time

This article rings true everywhere. It might be more pressing in the UK, as other countries willingly accept their senior staff with better pay and/or work hours, but it's still a factor in rural areas of the US and Australia. And certainly worth a read.

Notable difference from moving from a NHS ambulance service (struggles to retain experience) to New Zealand (keeps very experienced staff) in terms of productivity, decision making and overall patient care!

Very thoughtful and nuanced post from @garethgrier1.bsky.social on the huge complexities of potentially delivering extracorporeal CPR (ECPR) across the U.K. There is much enthusiasm and pockets of excellence - but a whole system-wide change is needed. Like REBOA and RT, a HALO procedure (1/2)

Anaesthesia @anaesjournal.bsky.social · 29/11/2024
A total pain prevalence of 51% was found in New South Wales, w 5% of patients stating that their pain was not managed. People with indigenous backgrounds & who spoke a language other than English were less likely to report adequate pain management. #AnSky #PainSky #MedSky buff.ly/49bToGW

It takes a system to save a life in cardiac arrest. I’m proud to have played a small part in this paper in The MJA which shows how survival has incrementally improved in Victoria over 25 years and highlights the value of a registry. If you don’t measure, you can’t improve 🤓 🚑
