James Bennett
"I’ve been a paramedic since 2016 and joined London’s Air Ambulance in November 2024. Outside of my role as a HEMS paramedic, I work as a Clinical Team Manager with the London Ambulance Service, where I support a team of frontline clinicians in delivering high-quality patient care.
I hold a Master’s degree in Advanced Healthcare Practice and have a strong interest in critical care. I believe in progress, not perfection — a mindset that guides my ongoing development and approach to patient care.
