Abstract
Introduction: Collaborative working between doctors, nurses and paramedics providing care in emergencies improves patient outcomes and professional satisfaction. 1 O’Meara P.F. et al. Extending the paramedic role in rural Australia. Remote Rural Health. 2012; 12: 1978 PubMed Google Scholar , 2 Forland O. et al. Cooperation between ambulance service personnel and doctors in out-of-hours services. Tidsskr Nor Legeforen. 2009; 129: 1109 Crossref PubMed Scopus (13) Google Scholar Similarly, evidence based care demands clinical research within the context of care – however paramedic led research is limited. Few structured opportunities exist at undergraduate level for these professionals to work or learn together; in clinical practice, most collaboration is brief and opportunistic. Structured research and inter-professional postgraduate education programmes in Emergency Medical Science may address these needs.
