How do we bridge the gap in global ambulance care? From differing service models and overlapping jurisdictions to the realities of workforce distribution and remoteness, these challenges create disparities in access - and we’re asking the big question: how do we improve outcomes for patients worldwide?

This episode we’re doing things a little differently, bringing you a global panel of three incredible voices live from the CAA Congress:

- Jason Killens, - CEO London Ambulance Service NHS Trust, AACE Chair
- Jordan Emery - CEO, Ambulance Victoria
- Nick Nudell, Executive Director, Northeast Colorado Emergency Medical and Trauma

Together, they dive into the multifaceted challenges and opportunities shaping ambulance services across diverse geographical landscapes.

How can we improve barriers to early intervention in cardiac arrest? That's what our first guest is here to help us unpack. Tony Walker has nearly four decades of experience in ambulance and emergency services, most recently as Chief Executive Officer of Ambulance Victoria.

Right now, the rates of survival to discharge are 50 % lower in rural versus metro areas. We cover:
- How can we improve equity in cardiac arrest care in rural and urban areas?
- Is it true Tony carries around an AED in his car boot?
- How could a co-response model work?
- Is partnering and collaborating the future of ambulance services?
- What does a cardiac arrest survivor believe is needed to bridge the gap?
