Jake Jones: Author of "Can You Hear Me?"

The longer I do the job, the more fascinated I become with the central overlap of it: you’re dealing with clinical crisis but there’s always a contextual element to it… in this job, you’re always going into somebody else’s world where there are always so many factors at play.”

Jake Jones is a paramedic and author of Can You Hear Me?: An NHS Paramedic's Encounters with Life and Death, published in 2020. The fast-paced memoir was an instant success, with glowing reviews from newspapers and magazines including the Guardian and the Times Literary Supplement, and selection for the Richard and Judy book club.

In this episode we discuss the two parts of Jake's career: paramedic and writer. We delve into the processes of becoming inspired, writing a memoir, and navigating the complex moral issues of confidentiality and exploitation of patients.

Jake's book is published by Quercus and is available at a range of book sellers, found here:

Jake has also published several articles for the Guardian about the Covid crisis, the most recent of which can be accessed here:
