This podcast is all about what it’s really like to be a paramedic - or any frontline uniformed professional - each week you get to hear from the real humans under the uniform, the memorable moments they’ve experienced in their jobs and the people that have stayed with them for life. As paramedics we are often asked ‘What's the worst thing you have ever seen?’ and I am here to encourage a different kind of conversation with our frontline workers, to uncover what it takes to work in these roles and the privilege we experience in meeting and connecting with patients.

This week we speak to another frontline health professional – Midwife, Leah Hazard. Leah wrote the Sunday Times Bestseller Hard Pushed - her memoir about working in the NHS as a midwife. Her new book, Womb will be out in March 2023. We talk about accidentally inspiring the next generation of midwives, working through the pandemic, moral injury and ‘windy’ night shifts.
