Unlocking the Hidden Keys to Calm Under Chaos: How Simple Tools Like A Checklist Can Elevate Your Care

What's the real difference between paramedics who stay calm under pressure and those who panic when everything goes wrong? It's the ability to already know what comes next. In this episode we explore the power of consistency and how one simple tool, often dismissed, can improve patient care and outcomes. Geoff Murphy, founder of Master Medics, sat down with us onsite at FAST25 to discuss how checklists can not only save lives but allow you to remain confident in knowing what is next on scene. Not to mention they're a great training tool as well.
