In this episode of EHO Knows, Shane welcomes Jason Scarborough back to explore the rapidly evolving world of electronic surveillance and what it means for environmental health professionals. From smart glasses and smartphones to drones, hidden cameras and vehicle tracking, they examine how new technologies are changing the way information can be gathered, while raising important legal, ethical and social questions about privacy, consent and the expectations of the community.

In Part Two of Shane’s interview with Wendy Gambley, the focus shifts from the confronting experiences discussed in Part One to the emotional demands of working in environmental health. They explore how repeated exposure to difficult situations, conflict with community members, and a lack of recognition or support within local government can affect the wellbeing of EHOs and other regulatory staff.

In Part Two of Shane's interview with Louise Dunn, moving beyond what Environmental Health Officers do, they explore how practitioners actually apply their knowledge, skills and experience across four key areas: protecting, helping, collaborating, and leading and innovating. They also explore how the framework could support students, graduates, experienced practitioners, team leaders and the wider profession in explaining the value and impact of environmental health.
