Good Samaritan nurses: responding to off-duty emergencies

Do the words ‘is there a nurse onboard’ fill you with dread, or do you spring into action without a second thought?

This episode examines Good Samaritan acts, when nurses respond to health emergencies while off duty.

Buckinghamshire New University senior lecturer Carolyn Crouchman joins Nursing Standard senior nurse editor Richard Hatchett to discuss her research in this area. 

The discussion also covers issues such as bystanders filming scenes of emergencies and posting the footage on social media.
