In this episode we are speaking with London HEMS Paramedic Keiren Rodwell. We dig into Keiren's background from working as a paramedic student in New South Wales, to working for the London Ambulance Service LAS in north east London. Keiren joined London Ambulance Service straight out of university in February 2018. We speak about the death of two of Keiren’s extended family whilst protecting their family from the wild fires in Australia. We dig into what a typical day looks like in London's Air Ambulance (LAA) and also Kerien's journey to this point. We also examine the fundamental differences between pre-hospital care in Australia to the UK.
Around 25 per cent of LAS paramedics are Australian. The Service first began a recruitment campaign to attract Australian paramedics in 2014. At the time a national shortage of paramedics in the UK meant that the LAS looked to Australia because alignment of skills and training to UK practice.
