Training & Resources: Equipping Paramedics for the Right Environment


Listen Later

What are the different skills and resources needed in rural and urban settings? That's what our latest guest is here to help us unpack. Gayle Christie is the Medical Director at St John WA, bringing deep expertise in pre-hospital care across vastly different operational environments. Right now, paramedics working in rural settings face challenges that their metro counterparts simply don't, and vice versa. We cover:

  • What are the biggest resource and training gaps between rural and urban ambulance services?
  • What skills are uniquely critical for rural paramedics, and what does urban practice demand instead?
  • How do we retain skilled clinicians in regional and remote areas?
  • What does the future of targeted, context-specific training look like for ambulance services?
