About the episode:
In this episode of The Debrief, we are joined by Alecka Miles who is a Lecturer and Course Coordinator at Edith Cowan University and also employed as a Paramedic at a GP Practice, to discuss alternative pathways for paramedics.
Alecka discusses where her career in paramedicine began and how she got to where she is now. Alecka also shares her experiences working outside of the traditional ambulance paramedic role and how she transitioned into education.
The College is the peak professional body representing and supporting paramedics and student paramedics across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand since 1973.
The College acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional custodians of the land and sea in which we live and work, we recognise their continuing connection to land, sea and culture and pay our respects to Elders past, present and future.
We recognise the unique role of Māori as Tangata Whenua and embrace Te Tiriti o Waitangi, recognising Māori as tino rangatiratanga of Aotearoa New Zealand while supporting the guiding principles of Te Tiriti – Tino rangatiratanga, Equality, Active protection, Options, and Partnership.
