The need for paramedicine research has been recognised internationally through efforts to develop out-of-hospital research agendas in several developed countries. Australasia has a substantial paramedicine research capacity compared to the discipline internationally and is well positioned as a potential leader in the drive towards evidence-based policy and practice in paramedicine. Our objectiv...

BACKGROUND Community paramedicine programs have emerged throughout North America and beyond in response to demographic changes and health system reform. Our aim was to identify and analyse how community paramedics create and maintain new role boundaries and identities in terms of flexibility and permeability and through this develop and frame a coherent community paramedicine model of care that...

BACKGROUND Clinical placement is an essential element of paramedicine education and training as the profession completes the transition from vocational training to a pre-employment, university based model. The objective of this study was to survey pre-employment paramedicine students at Universities in Victoria, Australia and Auckland, New Zealand to measure their self-assessed preparedness for...

Addressing inefficiencies in prehospital emergency care will contribute to increased availability of resources for emergency response, and the health and well-being of citizens. To address these problems, development and expansion of community paramedicine programs are taking place, involving the deployment of trained paramedics for providing care outside of their traditional emergency care pro...

Background Professionalism is a pillar of paramedicine. Internationally paramedic curricula emphasize valid assessment of three domains: cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains (professionalism). Little is reported on competency measures for professionalism specific to paramedicine. Literature suggests that paramedic students, paramedic practitioners, medical directors, and patients belie...

“Change is the law of life, and those who look only to past or present are certain miss future.” John F Kennedy The Australasian College Paramedicine (ACP) has a distinguished history supporting, promoting disseminating research in paramedicine. Central that outcome been its longstanding commitment scientific journal publishing by way what currently our journal, Journal Paramedicine. In Novembe...

BACKGROUND Expanded roles for paramedics, commonly termed community paramedicine, are becoming increasingly common. Paramedics working in community paramedicine roles represent a distinct departure away from the traditional emergency paradigm of paramedic services. Despite this, little research has addressed how community paramedics are perceived by their clients. METHODS This study took an i...
