In this episode we speak to Martin McTigue. Martin joined London Ambulance Service in 1986. He progressed through the ranks, working first as an Operations Manager then later as Head of Business Development. In 2015, Martin started making weekly trips to the refugee camp known as the Calais Jungle. Here, he formed a clinic to serve the medical needs of 8000 migrants. Martin has also worked extensively in sea rescue. He advises the UK lifeboat charity, the RNLI, on mass casualty rescues, and he is a trustee of the NGO Atlantic Pacific. I met Martin in January on a rescue ship, the Sea-Eye 4. He was leading a month-long maritime operation to rescue migrants attempting to reach Europe from Libya.
In this episode, we discuss Martin’s management roles within LAS; major incidents; humanitarian medicine; and Mediterranean SAR.
