We have all heard someone say "there are no jobs when you graduate", but how true is this statement.

Have you ever been asked if you have done any real work today? What is a "real job"? Should we change our mindset? It might just improve our care and our own longevity. 

Today we talk about opportunities for paramedics outside of an ambulance service. From expeditions, to film, tv and flight work, we look at the skills, attributes and networks required to be successful. 

Today we chat about babies. Delivering one doesn't need to be scary. We talk about our experiences and insights into managing this cohort of patients.
