HEMS Debrief - Retrieval and Pre-Hospital Medicine #6. Dr Matt Hooper (part 2) - Emergency Last Aid

Hello and welcome back.

This is part two of our chat with Dr Matt Hooper, continuing our conversation on emergency last aid.

In this episode, we discuss the hows and whens involved when informing a family of their loved one's death, as well as the setting in which to do this.

Too, we discuss the importance of maintaining space and safety for one's self and the team, and how a system can encourage psychological safety in this regard. 

As with part one, please ensure this episode is the right one for you - this is a challenging and emotionally-charged topic and whilst very important, please make sure it is the right episode at the right time for you.

Chat soon.
