Water Winch Sim - the Doc Role

As Sydney HEMS was periodically tasked to perform water winch rescues of patients from the ocean or harbour, we conducted a simulation exercise to identify how to be more efficient and safe in these types of missions. The doctor on the helicopter has distinct roles that must be discussed and practiced.

Although this is a bit of a niche topic, it has application to anyone whose job involves high risk, low frequency mission types.
