“…Other operational lessons in improving consular response capacity can be found, particularly within the medical and defence force literature. For example, the challenges and advantages of receiving patients at a home‐country hospital after many hours lead time, and the difficulties of coordination within a national structure (Palmer, Stephens, & Fisher, ; Taylor, O'Connor, St Leone, & Halpern, ). Further lessons include the need for multi‐agency governmental cooperation in the aeromedical evacuation (Hampson, Cook, & Frederiksen, ) and government presence during the reception of evacuees at airports (Pajarinen, Leppäniemi, Castren, Silfvast, Haapiainen, Handolin, Reitala, Tukiainen, & Hirvensalo, ).…”

This review draws attention to the need for consolidated inquiry into large‐scale consular emergency management. Occurring outside national borders, these low‐probability but high‐impact events affect a large number of national citizens. They challenge governments' crisis management systems, and direct public and government attention to a sector that has been largely overlooked in public administration literature – consular affairs. This review brings together the relevant literature on consular assistance and looks further afield to find analysis of emergency responses in case studies of three major consular emergencies. Three underlying themes emerge, central to a more nuanced understanding of the government response to large‐scale emergencies affecting citizens abroad.

This paper summarizes, elaborates upon, and contrasts the findings of two research projects that explored how general practitioners and nurses coped with the dual challenge of personal and work demands following the earthquakes in Canterbury, New Zealand, in 2010 and 2011. Qualitative data from two separate studies -the first with general practitioners and the second with nurses -are compared to identify the challenges faced during and following the earthquakes. Semi-structured interviews took place with eight general practitioners two years after the start of the earthquake sequence and 11 nurses a year later to enable exploration of the longer-term aspects of the recovery process. The interview transcripts were analyzed and coded using a constructivist grounded theory approach. The analysis identified that the earthquakes had a significant impact on nurses and general practitioners both in terms of their professional and personal lives. The nurses and general practitioners commented on the emotional impact and their support needs, as well as some of the longer-term recovery issues.

“…Half a dozen medical students have spent the night in the Emergency Department, as the first flight from Bali brings in a dozen or so patients at 2 am. Twenty‐six hours earlier, bombs destroyed two nightclubs packed with tourists and local residents at Kuta Beach, Bali 1 . Most of the first casualties to arrive are able to walk and, although their injuries are severe, they are soon ministered to in Area 3 (the “walking wounded”) and sent off to the ward.…”
