In today’s episode, we’re honoured to be joined by John Martin, a trailblazer whose career is a testament to innovation, leadership, and an unwavering dedication to patient care.
John’s journey began at just 18 in a microbiology lab, but his passion for healthcare quickly led him to the world of emergency medicine. Today, he serves as the Chief Executive of South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SWASFT). With a wealth of experience across ambulance, acute, and community healthcare settings, John has also been the President of the College of Paramedics, advocating for the advancement of the paramedic profession. As a Visiting Professor in Paramedic Science, he’s helping shape the future of paramedic education and training.
In this episode, we’ll dive into John’s leadership transition from London Ambulance Service to SWASFT, the biggest challenges facing pre-hospital care, and the role of technology in modernising emergency response. We’ll also touch on the importance of mental health, interdisciplinary collaboration, and John’s forward-thinking vision for the future of paramedic practice.
