'ello!   

This time round we were sadly unable to meet face-to-face and produce all those funny little videos you love but we did have a good chat about BP monitoring, triage, and clinical assessment of neurological presentations.  

Thank you to our case contributor Jay, and to everyone who got involved on SoMe with the #MysteryDiagnosis. 

Have YOU got a case? We want to read about it! Please submit to: [email protected]

Also, if you have a second, would you like / rate / subscribe please? It means more to us than money itself (well, maybe not).

Hello all! 

Following a festive hiatus we're back, but things are going to be a bit different from now on...

Join Silas and Jonny as they chat, argue, and reflect on all things prehospital, resuscitation and emergency medicine!

Lieutenant Colonel Ross Moy (Twitter: @ross_moy) is a consultant in Emergency and Pre-Hospital Medicine in the British Army. During training he undertook Fellowships in Critical Care, Aeromedical Retrieval and Pre-Hospital medicine. He has deployed overseas several times, including operational tours of Iraq and Afghanistan.

He is married to Pauline, with two enthusiastic sons, and a lazy Labrador. He is a dreadful guitarist, and reasonable runner. He also enjoys hillwalking, skiing and whisky. (Nb. Ross' words, I'm not being judgemental!)

I really enjoyed talking to Ross about his career, trauma care, human factors, medical education, and much more. 

I hope you enjoy listening and let us know what you think!

PHEM Feedback is a project which assists ambulance and air ambulance staff with patient follow up.

I was lucky enough to catch up with two of the minds behind the project – Sinead Keane and Dr Gio Cracolici – about its origins, how it works, and how it helps with clinician's learning and patient outcomes. 

Check it out!
