Charlie Workman

In my role as a qualified paramedic, I have had the opportunity to work on the Intensive Care (IC) roster, providing advanced care to critically ill patients in both metropolitan and rural settings including Ryde, Narrabeen and Dubbo. During this time, I've been fortunate to work alongside exceptional preceptors whose skills, knowledge, and experience I strive to integrate into my own practice. This mentorship has enhanced my ability to manage complex cases, including trauma, advanced airway interventions, and pharmacological support, while maintaining compassionate care. I've consistently been recognised for my adaptability, decision-making, and collaborative approach to patient care in diverse environments.

As an experienced event paramedic, I have had the opportunity to provide critical care at a variety of events, including large-scale festivals, sporting events, and live shows. My responsibilities included rapid triage and treatment of injuries, managing trauma and medical emergencies, and coordinating with event teams to ensure a seamless response. I've worked in high-pressure, high-energy environments, adapting quickly to meet the specific needs of each event. My strong focus on patient care, combined with my ability to manage medical resources efficiently, has consistently resulted in positive feedback from event organisers and team leaders.

With over two years experience as a pool lifeguard, I have developed strong skills in maintaining a safe environment, responding quickly to emergencies, and performing water rescues when needed. I've conducted routine safety checks, managed crowd control and worked closely with teams to ensure smooth operations. I'm also dedicated to promoting water safety through public engagement and providing first aid when required. Recognised for my quick response times and professionalism, I've earned praise from both supervisors and patrons.
