The Mobile Intensive Care Ambulance (MICA) program with Ben Meadley

In this conversation I chat to Ben Meadley. Ben has extensive
experience in prehospital critical care, and is an operational
Intensive Care Flight Paramedic (MICA) with Air Ambulance
Victoria. Ben has a keen interest in prehospital critical care,
advanced clinical assessment, pre-hospital critical care
interventions and developing clinical judgement in critical care
practitioners. MICA paramedics’ training goes beyond practical
skill precision to include more detail in anatomy, physiology,
pathophysiology and pharmacology to greater increase capacity to
make independent complex clinical decisions and interventions.
MICA paramedics operate either as part of a two person crew or as
a single responder.


We look at many facets of the MICA system and the differentiation
between land MICA and flight MICA systems. We dig down into Ben's
experience and empirical knowledge and look at the fundamentals
of high performance within the MICA system, why they exist and
how they continually improve.


I hope you enjoy this conversation.
