The session will be presented by Si Robinson, Si is an Advanced Paramedic Practitioner and MDT Manager at Ringmead Medical Group, where he has helped design processes for urgent care, cancer care, and end-of-life care. He is in the final stages of a PhD at the University of Hertfordshire, exploring how paramedics and families of acutely unwell children make decisions together. His research reflects his interests in child health, bioethics, and clinical decision-making, and underpins his ambition to improve care across ambulance, urgent, and primary care so families are seen appropriately and in a timely manner.
He has written articles and contributed book chapters on these themes, holds a Diploma in Musculoskeletal Medicine with the Faculty of Sports and Exercise Medicine, and is an active member of the College of Paramedics Public Health Specialist Interest Group. Beyond clinical practice, Si is a Trustee of the Blue Light Symphony Orchestra, a charity supporting emergency service personnel through music therapy.
Paramedic Education and Support Programme (PESP) for Primary and Urgent Care
The PESP programme aims to support the educational needs of paramedics with a focus on primary and urgent care though it is open to all paramedics.
Further information can be found on the PESP webpage HERE
PESP teaching sessions will be led by GPs who have experience of working with or who employ paramedics in primary care. These live teaching sessions will run over lunchtime with a question and answer session at the end.
Further discussion will take place using a community forum. Booking onto the Event does not mean you will automatically have access to Moodle, you need to sign up for that separately HERE though you will only need to sign up to Moodle once.
