Magic, Myths and Legend: Dogmatic practice in paramedicine

About The Event

In this session, panellists will discuss and challenge aspects of paramedic practice that are ingrained and perpetuated – but not necessarily evidence based.

We seek to challenge well believed and frequently practiced assessments with evidence and motivate ambulance staff to base their practice on up-to-date and well rationalised research.

This session will have you immediately changing your practice and questioning the status quo and will serve as an opportunity to ask further questions to some of the industry’s leading clinicians.
