Ep1 - Cam Edgar - Co-Host, Paramedic, and Director of Helicopter Operations

Welcome to the first episode of the Aeromedical Rescue & Retrieval Podcast!

Brought to you by the Aeromedical Society of Australasia (ASA)

On this episode I speak with Chief Superintendent Cameron Edgar. Cam has been a paramedic for almost 30 years working in just about every field such as media officer, special operations team instructor, helicopter paramedic, and ASA Committee member. Cam is now the Director of Helicopter Operations for Australia’s largest HEMS operation.

Cam speaks about some of the challenges he has faced over the past years of fires, floods, and a pandemic, and his experience on one of the most challenging helicopter and technical rope rescue missions he has ever encountered. 

During the episode we also talk about our involvement with the Aeromedical Society of Australasia and the future of the industry.
