‘Post-traumatic stress disorder has been my focus’

Episode 145 - Calm Hands on Deck: Aroop Mozumder

The RNLI's Medical Director on the unique challenges crew face, from performing casualty care on the deck of a lifeboat to coping with traumatic shout.

Aroop Mozumder is the RNLI’s first Medical Director – and he’s a busy man. Having previously put his medical skills to use in war zones and humanitarian disaster zones, Aroop talks about how his experiences as a military doctor have prepared him well for life in the RNLI.

Acknowledging the difficult conditions in which RNLI crew treat injured and distressed people, Aroop says that practicing ‘good medicine in bad places’ is a tough job and can have traumatic consequences – something that he is working hard to address.
