Pre-Hospital Care Podcast 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 accomplished professional in paramedicine and healthcare research.
