SIMON CARKEEK- pracmednz.com “From Chaos to Control: Mastering First Aid in Real Emergencies"

In this episode I sit down with Simon Carkeek from PracMed, a New Zealand-based company focused on practical first aid training. Simon shares how PracMed’s hands-on, evidence-based approach has saved 127 lives by emphasizing essential skills like bleeding control and airway management. The discussion covers the importance of confidence, real-world scenarios, and mental health support for responders. Simon also talks about his military background, the company’s high training standards, and their mission to empower people to act decisively in emergencies, both in New Zealand and globally.In Simon’s words- “"It all began with a vision of a better way.After spending nearly 7 years working in hostile environments around the globe, I returned home and started working in industry training.  Simon saw firsthand how poor the quality training was in NZ, and how many organisations treat courses as ‘tick-the-box’ exercises only for compliance. He knew that in order to save more New Zealanders from preventable death, Kiwis needed to be given the knowledge and opportunity for engaging, relevant training.  His goal is to ensure there are more competent and confident responders, and less qualified witnesses.In 2018, PracMed NZ was born."🔗 Connect with Simon onWebsite: https://pracmednz.com/L:inkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/company/pracmednz/?originalSubdomain=nzYouTube :https://www.youtube.com/@pracmednzI am Damian Porter , Former NZ Special Forces Operator, Subject Matter Expert from www.hownottodieguy.com and www.eatwellmovewell.netAnd you are listening to my STRAIGHT TALK MIND AND MUSCLE PODCAST sponsored by www.mystait.com - the ultimate daily formula for optimum hormone health, stress management, energy and performance.  100% natural and clinically proven ingredients, it provides everything you need to raise your game, in a convenient gut-friendly capsule.
