On today’s episode of Care Under Fire I chat with Matt Pepper, a former Australian Army Officer and NSW Ambulance Intensive Care/Special Operations Paramedic. Matt was instrumental in establishing the Tactical Medical Operations capability in NSW Ambulance, was on the ground as a first responder to the Lindt Café Siege and currently works as the national training manager for TACMED Australia. Matt shares how advances in tactical medicine learnt on the battlefield have filtered into clinical practice in Australia as we discuss our clinical liabilities and challenges. Support is available through Lifeline 13 11 14 or Open Arms (veterans and families counselling) 1800 011 046.
