Garreth Saunders is an Advanced Paramedic Manager whose role is pivotal in supporting Jersey Ambulance Services contribution to delivering the Jersey Care model. Clearly attracted to highly stressful vocations, Garreth takes us on his career journey from selling Jeans at school, to working in social care, the royal marines, and in close protection for royal families overseas and high-profile clients closer to home. Gareth worked on the front line for UK ambulance services during the pandemic and compares this with his experiences overseas in close protection. He shares some key messages and reflections with us during this episode, where we touch on PTSD, stress responses, resilience, and wellbeing.
