Violence against Paramedics with Dr Justin Mausz

In this conversation, we will examine the prevalence, causes,
types and critical issues of violence against paramedics. Justin
Mausz shares his insights on the growing prevalence of violence
in the pre-hospital environment, examining the kinds of violence
paramedics face, including verbal, physical, and emotional abuse.
He highlights the contributing factors and offers practical
strategies for mitigating these risks, drawing from his extensive
research. We also explore how to protect paramedics while
maintaining care delivery in high-risk environments​.


 


To do this I am joined by Dr Justin Mausz. Justin is an
