Welcome to the Recess Room podcast.

Five, four, three, two, one, fire.

So hi, and welcome back to the Recess Room podcast. I'm Simon Lang.

And I'm James Haynes.

And we are lucky enough to be here at the London Trauma

Conference at the Splendid Royal Geographical Society and being involved in the cardiac arrest
