Females in PHEM with Ffyon Davis

In this conversation, we will examine the percentage and growth of females in Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine (PHEM). We also examine the diversity within the UK context and how this has slowly but surely grown and affected the workforce for the better within pre-hospital care. We also discuss the hierarchy of competence, barriers to entry and some of the covert and overt challenges that women have faced to enter PHEM.

To do this I have Ffyon Davis with me. Ffyon is an emergency medicine registrar and expedition doctor with a special interest in PHEM. She is also a World Extreme Medicine (WEM) faculty member and avid explorer.
