More Than a Tough Day: Exploring the Real Impact of Prehospital Work
This session presents fresh findings from a pilot qualitative study exploring how prehospital clinicians experience and mitigate the emotional impact of their work. Based on MSc dissertation research, the talk reflects on themes of resilience, pre-emptive training, and the limitations of reactive interventions like TRiM. With implications for service development, education, and staff support, this session aims to spark meaningful dialogue around sustaining well-being in the ambulance service and beyond.
