About this episode:

In this podcast, we will hear from David Jaensch, Community Paramedic and Intensive Care Paramedic who will discuss the importance of developing a strong relationship with community to improve health outcomes. Dave will explore how he works collaboratively with other agencies to improve access to health care and how his work has led to better outcomes for the community.  

Together with our education manager Julie Johnson, they will explore how building trust can improve health literacy and influence GP led care. Julie has worked in primary health care as both a nurse and paramedic and is looking forward to discussing how the success of the Ceduna community paramedicine model has improved the health of marginalised communities and strengthened partnerships with other health agencies.
