Best of the PHCP in 2025 - Part 1

As we close out this Best of 2025, these episodes represent far more than download numbers or chart positions. They reflect the conversations that resonated most with you, the ones that challenged practice, reinforced fundamentals, and reminded us why this work matters.From Prehospital Resuscitative Thoracotomy for Traumatic Cardiac Arrest with Mike Christian, to The Evolving Nature of Major Incidents with Adam Desmond, Paediatric Assessment in Critical Care with Anna Dobbie, Frailty in Geriatric Patients with Iain Wilkinson and James Adams, and The Last Year of Life focusing on Palliative and End of Life Care; each episode speaks to a different phase of life, a different clinical challenge, and a different kind of responsibility. Together, they capture the full spectrum of pre-hospital and emergency care: from critical care decisions to thoughtful, values-based care at the end of life.They remind us that excellence in practice is not just about technical skill or clinical algorithms, but about clear communication, teamwork, and compassion, whether we are managing traumatic cardiac arrest, supporting families during major incidents, caring for critically unwell children, advocating for frail older adults, or walking alongside patients in their final year of life.Thank you for being part of our podcast community throughout 2025.
