Welcome to Kerbside Conversations – the College’s podcast capturing authentic voices and stories from across the world of paramedicine.
In this conversation, Paul Reeves, Principal Advisor for Pre-Hospital Care in the Northern Territory, shares his journey from frontline paramedic to a strategic role in healthcare policy. He discusses the importance of saying yes to opportunities, adapting to new challenges, and the critical role of healthcare policy in shaping paramedicine. Paul emphasizes the need for paramedics to be recognized as clinicians and advocates for their profession, highlighting the future of paramedicine beyond traditional ambulance services.
