Paramedics . . . Why do research?

Paramedics and other registered healthcare professionals choose from a variety of career pathways, broadly split into four categories: clinical practice, leadership and management, education and research (College of Paramedics, 2018). These roles do not exist in silos; instead they intertwine to form interesting and bespoke roles in a variety of settings. The choice of career pathway is highly individual, subject to personal preference and largely influenced by the sense of career achievement and satisfaction. Abstract published with permission
