Michael Stevenson reveals why he’s hanging up Iain’s paramedic uniform and saying cheerio to Casualty
-

Q Why is it time for Iain to say goodbye?
A Iain was on a huge journey this year. He hit rock bottom, tried to take his life, eventually accepted help and began his journey into recovery. What I’m most proud of is where Iain’s story is ending. Showing how people recover is just as important as talking about mental health. Iain’s gone to the depths and pulled himself out of it. It shows the possibilities for people to pull themselves back.
Q Excitingly, he’s applied to join HEMS (Helicopter Emergency Medical Services). Are you happy with his exit?
