In this episode of Care Under Fire I chat with Tash Ford, a Registered Nurse, Intensive Care Paramedic and Australian Army veteran. Tash’s incredible career has included tours of East Timor with the Australian Military Hospital Dilli and Afghanistan with the Special Operations Task Group. We chat about holistic care and the effect of burnout on frontline clinicians as she recalls the loss of her friend Bret Till who was killed in action in Afghanistan and the care she provided on road as a paramedic and with the RFDS.
