ACPIC 2021 was a great success, drawing hundreds of participants online from across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand, and bringing together people at face-to-face events on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland and in Hobart, Tasmania.
The College is committed to supporting and promoting paramedic research, and it was pleasing to see more than 30 research sessions presented at this year’s conference, as well as a portfolio of research posters that are available on the conference platform.
