An award-nominated podcast that began with a focus on prisons, interviewing those who live or work inside them. It’s since grown. In the latest series, Under Pressure: Trauma on the Frontline, we hear from a firefighter, police officer, army colonel, paramedic and prison officer about the long-term impacts of repeated exposure to trauma. Hosted by Kaigan Carrie, a doctoral researcher in criminology, this podcast explores the human cost of systems we rarely see and what it means to do traumatic work on behalf of society.

Under pressure: the paramedic

This is episode 5 of a special 6-part series exploring the mental toll frontline professionals carry as they do vital work to protect all of us.

Lea Vaughan was a Hazardous Area Response Team paramedic and one of only three medics to treat victims inside the arena during the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017 - the largest casualty she'd ever faced. In this episode, Lea reflects on the night of the attack and the lasting psychological impact. She speaks about the lack of support she received afterwards and the unexpected public backlash she faced, including death threats, as a visible face of the ambulance service.
