How do you provide compassionate care in the community?

"Emergency care assistants are often the first team members patients meet and interact with, so first impressions are important. I try to relate to patients and their families by listening to their situation, empathizing, and striving to understand their emotions and what has occurred that led to this event we're responding to. It can be a very stressful time for patients and their families or friends, so I want to reduce their anxiety and demonstrate that I genuinely care about them and their well-being, and I'll do all that I can to help them. My motto is to always treat my patients like I'd want my family member to be treated."
