Special Forces Vs Critical Care (Restore Podcast collaboration)

In this episode I chat to Jason Fox - a former Royal Marine
Commando and Special Forces Sergeant. Joining at 16 and serving
for 20 years; Jason passed the grueling selection process for the
Special Forces, serving with the Special Boat Service. Jason has
planned and led operations including hostage rescue, counter
terrorism, counter insurgency, maritime counter terrorism,
surveillance, body guarding and counter narcotic missions. He
currently features in the channel 4 program - SAS: Who Dares
Wins.


We look at the similarities between the Special Forces (SF) and
critical care (paramedic) practice. We examine the principles of
high performing teams, relationship with failure, and
communication amongst other aspects. We also look at self care
and what it means on a practical level and the power of not
taking yourself too seriously. I have always found Jason to be
honest and open person which is why having conversations with him
is so refreshingly real.


This episode will feature on the Restore Podcast (self-care
non-clinical) and the Pre-hospital Care Podcast (clinical
conversations) as it relates to both.


I hope you enjoy this episode.
