Podcasts for Paramedics
“Beyond the Sirens”
The Beyond the Sirens: Paramedics and End-of-Life Care podcast series has been designed to start a journey together, to spark innovative ideas, provide support for and raise awareness of the holistic and complex requirements of end-of-life care.
Produced by The End of Life Partnership in Cheshire, it consists of a series of six podcasts which are being launched on 15 July 2024, which are each typically around 30 minutes in length.
The aim of these podcasts is to provide palliative and end of life education in a format that makes it more accessible to paramedics and other ambulance service staff.
We have brought together the expertise of those people who have a long-standing wealth of experience in end-of-life care. We also felt it was equally important to hear about real life examples from those in the field.
Topics the podcasts cover include:
- Episode 1 – Palliative Care and End of Life Care Explained With Dan Platt, Paramedic: North West Ambulance Service and Dr Kathryn Gaunt, Palliative Medicine Consultant: East Cheshire NHS trust
- Episode 2 – Communication Skills with Dr Karen Groves, Education Lead, Queenscourt Hospice and Honorary Clinical Professor, Edge Hill University
- Episode 3 – Total Pain with Tessa Taylor, Practice Educator: End of Life Partnership and Mary Buttle, Practice Educator: End of Life Partnership
- Episode 4 – Decision Making in the moment with Rob Whelan, Community Specialist Paramedic (Advanced Care Practitioner Wirral): North West Ambulance Service and Keiran Potts, Community Specialist Paramedic – Regional Lead for End of Life Care: North West Ambulance Service
- Episode 5 – Interview Edward O’Brian Macmillan Paramedic with Edward O’Brian, Macmillan Paramedic: Clinical Lead Palliative and End of Life Care: Welsh Ambulance Service NHS Trust
- Episode – Topical areas of Practice in End of Life Care for Paramedics with Rob Whelan, Community Specialist Paramedic (Advanced Care Practitioner Wirral): North West Ambulance Service and Keiran Potts, Community Specialist Paramedic – Regional Lead for End of Life Care: North West Ambulance Service
