Gala Dinner
Join us for our Gala Dinner, with special guest Dr Brendan Shannon.
In the evolving landscape of paramedicine, we can often face a crisis of identity as we transition between roles such as clinician, managers, leaders, academics, and even researchers. This session will address the lived experience of navigating away from the uniform as the primary role focus, which can be a significant part of our identity. The focus will be on tips to grow in confidence without the uniform and breaking through traditional career paths to find influence at a level beyond serving just one patient at a time.
Through the discussion in this session, we hope to inspire delegates to navigate and thrive in the multifaceted world of paramedicine beyond what may be considered traditional, to learn from mistakes made, and at minimum we hope to show delegates they are not alone in this journey and that sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith.
