Josh Griffiths is a paramedic in the BBC hospital drama Casualty. This article needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality. ...

Over the last seventeen years Josh has saved countless lives, risked his own life on many occassions and endured endless personal trauma.

Josh's deepest personal trauma was when a fire ripped through his house. His daughter was the only person rescued from the wreckage. His wife and son were killed instantaneously, whilst his daughter Sarah later died in hospital.

Josh's trauma affected him badly, causing him to become a compulsive gambler (which resulted in him accumulating excessive debts) and later becoming infertile.

Josh has since struggled to find love. He married Collette but his marriage collapsed after discovering she was pregnant with a child that had been concieved during an illicit affair. His most recent date proved a disaster as he prepared a meal of Duck for a vegeterian and had his overflowing bath fall through the ceiling and collapse on him.

Josh commands alot of respect from his forever changing staff. The paramedic he had the closest friendship with was Finley "Fin" Newton (who was tragically murdered). Their friendly banter proved so popular they were granted their own special episode which focused on their shift.

Josh has risked his own life on many occassions and nearly died in a landslide in season 15. Thankfully he survived.

In recent years Casualty has become more focused on life in the hospital due to problems with filming caused by the increasing number of episodes and the paramedics are sadly underused. However Josh is still saving lives and most recently climbed through a broken garage window to save a man who was attempting sucicide.

Josh is played by Ian Bleasdale.
