Listen to Ryan Lovett, College Chair, on ABC Radio South East SA
Off the back of yesterday’s announcement by Federal Health Minister Mark Butler that 5 Urgent Care Centres will open across South Australia, our Chair Ryan Lovett was interviewed by ABC Radio South East SA this morning about the UCC model and the incredible opportunity the government has to recognise and utilise paramedics in this team-based healthcare model.
The College will continue to lobby with governments across Australia for paramedics to be recognised and more broadly utilised across the health system to help ease the healthcare crisis, and improve person-centred care.
