What is RTB?

RTB (Return To Base) is a podcast from North East Ambulance Service. In each episode, NEAS team members James Atkinson, Jason O'Connell or Mark Selling speak to expert colleagues to try and answer some of the big questions staff members have about working in the ambulance service, from day-to-day issues like mental health and the importance of speaking up, to big picture ideas like the future of paramedicine.
