Ep3 - Dr Natalie May - Sydney HEMS Prehospital, Retrieval, and Paediatric Specialist

On episode 3 we speak with keynote speaker, Dr. Natalie May at the AeroMed 22 conference in Brisbane! We talk about her development of training for aircrew in communicating with family members at a prehospital scene, and her approach to maintaining currency and competence in a number of disciplines and the challenges of moving from a well lit and well stoked emergency department, to the middle of the bush!

Dr. Natalie May trained in Emergency Medicine and Paediatric EM in the UK before moving to Sydney where she now works half time as a Specialist in Prehospital and Retrieval Medicine with Sydney HEMS, quarter time in Emergency Medicine at St George Hospital in South East Sydney and occasionally in both Neonatal and Pediatric Transport (NETS) and the Trauma service at Royal North Shore Hospital. 

She is a medical education enthusiast and has been an editor and regular contributor to the St Emlyn's blog and podcast since 2012. She is proud to be part of the faculty of Resuscitology, a multidisciplinary course for keen resuscitationists. 

She loves running, tea and karaoke; she lives with her husband and toddler near one of Sydney's beautiful beaches.
