In the final episode of this season of For Every Response, Catherine talks to Dr Gareth Davies who heads up the medical team supporting the world famous TT Races on the Isle of Man.

With hundreds of competitors converging on the Island for the races that take place during May and June every year, the need for specialist medical care is vital. 150 volunteers form the team and provide care from physio to trauma care in what Gareth calls the hyper acute phase. The island also has to cope with tens of thousands of visitors and he shares the impact that has on existing medical care for residents.

It's a fascinating insight into providing medical care at a major event and how decades of experience working in emergency settings in London prepared Gareth for this very special job.

In this episode of the pod, Catherine Levin gets into the detail about the on-call firefighting system with Craig Flannery. Craig is the Chief Fire Officer for Mid and West Wales and his service has large numbers of on-call firefighters, drawn from local communities, these are people who will drop everything to respond to fires. The on-call firefighter has a day job and offers 'availability' to the local fire station to respond to fires day and night.

They talk about the system, how it works, how to recruit and retain staff and about innovation. Some of that innovation is about pay structures and it's also in the use of data to better understand the impact that one person's availability can have on the service's ability to respond.

Listen on to find out more and discover what makes this part of the world so special.

Speakers:

• Catherine Levin, Editor, Emergency Services Times
• Craig Flannery, Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service

As Sir Andy Cooke leaves HMICFRS, he talks to Catherine Levin about his five years leading the inspectorate.

Reflecting on what he's seen from police forces, he reinforces the need for them to get the basics right. Leaving just after the government published the police reform white paper that could see the creation of a national police service and with changes in governance, Sir Andy shares his optimism for the new approach.

They touch on culture, technology, collaboration and leadership. It's a great conversation that shares what it's like to have this national role and shares some insights into the evolution of the inspectorate in the future.

Speakers:

• Catherine Levin, Editor, Emergency Services Times
• Sir Andy Cooke, His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services

In an unusual departure for this podcast, Catherine Levin interviews two guests. She talks to Tom Baker and Ian Hogarth who together are the experts keeping the fleet of the RNLI on the road and at sea.

They get into the detail about how you maintain a diverse fleet that is so geographically dispersed and used by hundreds of volunteers.

Tom looks after the boat fleet and shares how the boats are made, used and the innovations that are driving improvements for the future, with technology and interoperability at their heart.

Ian oversees the vehicle fleet - at 1000 vehicles he is looking at the decarbonisation agenda and how to do that in a way that works across the country.

It's the perfect conversation to tee up the activity that will take place around the Fleet of the Future theme at this year's Emergency Services Show.

Speakers:

• Catherine Levin, Editor, Emergency Services Times
• Tom Baker, RNLI
• Ian Hogarth, RNLI

In this episode of For Every Response, we hear from Kate Fisher-Stevens who heads up the National Data and Analytics Office which is part of the National Police Chiefs’ Council. It's a new organisation and shows a commitment to putting data at the heart of reform - with the recent policing white paper describing the government's ambitions to unleash the power of people through data.

Kate shares her decades of experience and talks about data as a strategic asset and why leaders need to be on top of data whether they are experts or building their confidence.

It's a great conversation that reveals that data is foundational for future ambitions around the use of AI but she's also pragmatic about perfection - perfect data isn't the end game here. Listen to find out more.

Report Fraud was launched earlier this year and in this episode, Catherine Levin talks to Chris Bell from the City of London Police who ran the programme to create this new national service.

He tells Catherine how this transformation programme brought together existing fraud services under one banner to tackle fraud and cyber crime with a firm focus on the victim. It's a complex process that Chris shares and demonstrates how it has been done in partnership with many other agencies.

It's new and is bedding in, but with the national fraud strategy published on 9 March, it's timely to look at how this service will improve the victim experience and ways to prevent fraud happening in the first place.

• Catherine Levin, Editor, Emergency Services Times
