Rafi Uddin is an Aussie expat working in the UK, and one of only a few paramedics to have a ballistic vest as part of his daily equipment. He is a member of his service’s specialist ‘tactical response unit’, working to expedite care of patients involved in police incidents. In this episode, Rafi walks us through his approach as first on scene to a major trauma case, and discusses principles of scene management, impromptu teams, trauma assessment and treatment.
