"It's basically the same, just put the mannequin on the floor…": the role of paramedics in developing resuscitation education
Date: Wednesday 22nd May 2024
Resuscitation courses and guidelines have to date been largely focussed on hospital-based practice, yet most UK resuscitation attempts take place in the out of hospital environment and are attended by paramedics. This session will explore how evolving paramedic practice and the work of the CoP have contributed to RCUK course development specifically aimed at out-of-hospital care, and how paramedics can get involved in shaping future resuscitation practice.
