PHCP and the Student Paramedic Podcast with Alex Mair

In this episode of the Pre-Hospital Care Podcast, we chat with
Alex Mair, a paramedic who qualified in 2022 after studying in
Australia. Alex discusses her journey of starting her career in
Australia and continuing it in the UK, far from her home and
support systems, and goes on to share insights into the
challenges she has faced both clinically and holistically. She
highlights the key differences between pre-hospital ambulance
paramedicine practices in the UK and Australia, offering valuable
lessons she has learned from both systems.


Alex reflects on the balance between support and autonomy for
newly qualified paramedics (NQPs) in the UK and whether it is
conducive to their development. She shares her most profound
personal reflections from working in the UK and suggests
improvements to address burnout in pre-hospital care.


We delve into Alex's podcasting journey as the host of the
Student Paramedic Podcast. She reveals what inspired her to start
the podcast, how it has evolved, and how managing it has enriched
her paramedic practice. Please check out her fantastic podcast
