Ben Flynn Army Reserve Medic and Police Officer
Update: 2023-10-10
Description
On today’s episode of Care Under Fire I chat all things reserve medic with Ben Flynn. We discuss how through a few short courses the Army transforms someone with no medical background into a medic who can provide advanced first aid and trauma care in remote environments. Ben recalls his experiences deployed in the Solomon Islands and picking up asylum seekers whilst on boarder protection operations with the Australian Navy. We chat about some of the limitations to mental health first aid and trauma care scope of practice in both the military and police force and the moral injury that can result in mental health battles.
