Abstract
Paramedic practice has been rapidly developing over a short space of time, with more paramedics entering the world of advanced practice across a variety of healthcare settings. Although there is a need for further advanced practitioners, due to the global healthcare workforce crisis and ageing population, advanced practitioner paramedics face many barriers to integration into the workforce. This article reviews the factors influencing UK paramedic advanced practice, and explores the attributes required for the role and its impact in healthcare. Although recognised as a vital resource, it is recommended that more research is needed to look at the effectiveness of paramedics as advanced practitioners.
