Emergency Response and Turn to Starboard

Talk: Medical Emergency Response and Turn to Starboard by Shaun Pascoe

Below is an extract from Shaun's response to our request:-

" The talk I do for clubs is on my operational role as Officer Commanding of the Medical Emergency Response Team. We flew forward using the Chinook aircraft collecting at point of wounding. I have completed tours in Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Iraq and repeatedly to Afghanistan. On my log I recorded 1494 patients. We were often in quite challenging and austere conditions regularly under fire and the impact to the patients was quite profound. It has a huge positive message particularly the impact this now has on the NHS. I then lead into the difficulty transitioning when you come home and the reasons I set up Turn to Starboard explaining what we do now. The impact on those we support has been amazing."
