Help needed! We are conducting a scoping review on interventions aimed at improving the mental well-being or sleep health of paramedics. Please share or tag any known literature. Looking for any source from empirically evaluated interventions through to organisational programmes.

Lovely to once again present my work at the @AIHS_OHS SA Safety Symposium. Here I am sharing findings on the healthy and safety consequences of sleep loss and fatigue is Aus paramedics. Research funded by the @SafeWorkSA Augusta Zadow Award 🚑

Remembering NSW paramedic Steven Tougher, and every worker who didn’t make it home safely. #InternationalWorkersMemorialDay

[Ambulance Employees Association (SA) @aeasa1981]

Today on #InternationalWorkersMemorialDay we honour our NSW comrade Steven Tougher, who tragically lost his life on duty 2 weeks ago. Our members wear a black ribbon for their fallen comrade, & for the hundreds of workers who tragically never made it home to their families.

@Aidan_Baron Hi Aidan! We are in the early data analysis stage, so these are preliminary findings. We will have an industry report with broad findings available next month, and I will publish my main findings next year. I’ll share when they are available!

Excited to share my research on the effects of shift work, sleep loss, and fatigue on mental well-being in Australian paramedics at my first sleep conference! #SDU2022

Awesome to see @wolkow_research share his research on the relationships between sleep difficulties, fatigue, trauma, and mental health in early career emergency workers. Very important and interesting work! #SDU2022
