Pre-hospital Work Place Culture in Focus with Carl Betts

Pre-Hospital Care Podcast

In this episode, we'll delve into the organisational culture of ambulance services; and the unwritten rules, beliefs, and behaviours that shape how we work. From KPIs to mission statements to crew room dynamics, to the disparate social work hours of pre-hospital care. We unpack the insights of what truly makes this unique workplace tick. Joining me is Carl Betts, a fellow co-host of the Pre-Hospital Care Podcast and the Quality Improvement lead for a UK Ambulance Service. We hope you find this conversation both informative and helpful.
