The Power of Shared Learning in Pre-Hospital Care with Sara Orritt

In this episode of the Pre-Hospital Care Podcast, we dive into the crucial role of shared learning within the pre-hospital setting. Learning from past experiences, both successes and challenges, is vital for improving patient outcomes and advancing best practices. We’ll explore key moments where shared learning has led to real changes in practice and examine the importance of having a strong central community to ensure that knowledge reaches as many professionals as possible.To explore this topic, we're joined by Sara Orritt, who brings a wealth of experience in emergency medical services and communication. Sara manages the communications and social media for The European Association of Emergency Medical Services (EMS Europe), supports the EMS Europe board in business administration, and helps organise the International EMS Congress. She also works as an Executive Support Officer for Yorkshire Ambulance Service and has previous experience with South East Coast Ambulance Service. Before her career in emergency medical services, Sara worked in television production, including roles with the BBC.Join us as we discuss how shared learning drives change, the role of digital platforms in spreading knowledge, and how EMS professionals can stay connected to a broader learning community.
