Patient and family aftercare enhance interactions between Helicopter Emergency Medicine Services and former patients and families
Anxiety related to patient aftercare visits was reduced when measured before and after the patient visits. Following this service evaluation, we can hypothesise that within pre-hospital care, PFAS plays an important structural role. Future research should focus on affirming the correct tool to measure anxiety in multi-disciplinary teams and prospectively evaluating these methods collaboratively across multiple pre-hospital services.
