Paramedics: The Effect of the Job on Health (and vice versa) | Sandy MacQuarrie, PhD - 595
Ooh this episode is a doozy... I geek out on all things cause and effect, so when Dr Sandy MacQuarrie offered up a hearty conversation on his PhD research into the physiological health status of Paramedics and the correlation between health status, job performance and of course mental health, I was all ears (and mouth, cos I'm chatty of course).\xa0
\nA career paramedic (ground and flight) since 1992 along with senior management positions in EMS in Canada, Sandy's research stemmed from his own lived experience and a challenging decline in his own wellbeing. Once he got on top of that he has spent six years stepping into the world of academia (not his natural habitat, but thank #%@$ he did because this area of research is crucial to our first responders) researching the cause and effect of a paramedic's health status on their job performance and likewise, the effect of the job itself on a paramedic's health status. Sandy's findings are crucial to understanding, supporting and creating a better system for paramedics and first responders. And likely the rest of us too really!
