Paramedic training and higher education: a natural progression?
Abstract
The paramedic profession has undergone a period of transition in the past decade. One of the most fundamental changes is the emergence of higher education (HE) as central to the development of qualified paramedics and those looking to enter the profession for the first time. Amidst a back-drop of regulation and increasing expectations, the position of HE has become one of the key drivers for a profession facing increasing challenges. This article explores the theoretical concepts which underpin the delivery of paramedic training within the HE setting. A number of different teaching strategies are examined which demonstrate how HE equips paramedic students with the skills needed to operate effectively in the prehospital setting. The concept of an autonomous practitioner is discussed and specifically, the role which HE has to play in their development. Consideration is also given to the way in which HE can empower paramedics to continue their development post qualification.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
