HEMS Debrief #4 – Sam Immens

In Episode 4 of the series, Sydney HEMS Critical Care Paramedic Sam Immens joins HEMS Physician Dr Samuel Bulford to discuss a pragmatic and practical reflection tool which has helped him navigate his clinical workflow.

Working as a Critical Care Paramedic with NSW Ambulance and the Toll Rescue Helicopter has been a lifelong personal and professional goal for Sam, who describes himself as “genuinely humbled by the professionalism and expertise displayed by the Pilots, Aircrew, Doctors, Engineers, Managers, Support Staff, and his fellow CCPs, in delivering critical care to anyone, in any place, at any time across New South Wales.”

Sam had some further reading recommendations he wanted to share here too:

  1. Rolfe’s adaptation to the reflective model we use in clinical practice today.

Rolfe., G et al. (2001) Critical reflection in nursing and the helping professions: a user’s guide. Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan

  1. Rolfe credits Terry Borton with the genesis of the terms and concept in his 1970 book 

Borton, T. (1970). Reach, touch, and teach; student concerns and process education. New York, Mcgraw-Hill

  1. Thanks for the Feedback, by Stone and Heen – essential reading for those that are in the position of giving feedback and mentoring as it nicely delineates coaching, feedback, and appreciation.
