We’re taking a break from our Cardiac Critical Care series to bring you a conversation with one of the most influential figures in medicine.

Peter had the huge privilege of interviewing Major General Tim Hodgetts, the recently retired, most senior medical advisor in the UK forces.

Hodgetts shares his remarkable journey in transforming emergency medicine from its infancy to maturity, detailing poignant experiences from his early career that steered him towards this specialty. The discussion ranges from Hodgetts' pioneering efforts in combat casualty care, the evolution of battlefield first aid, and innovative medical practices in conflict zones, to his concepts on leadership, international collaborations, and coping with trauma.

The segment also touches on Hodgetts' recent retirement and his ongoing contributions to medical and military communities through teaching, charity work, and writing.
