Dr Robbie King PhD – The patient experience in paramedic care
Welcome to the third episode of our Talking Research series, Chapters of a Research Journey, where we explore the diverse pathways paramedics take as they embark on their research careers.
In this episode, host Derek speaks with Dr Robbie King (PhD) about his transition into both paramedicine and academia. Robbie shares insights into his research journey, focusing on the importance of understanding patient experiences in paramedic care, particularly in non-conveyance situations.
The discussion highlights the significance of compassion in healthcare, the challenges of navigating a PhD, and the balance between personal wellbeing and academic commitments. Robbie emphasizes the iterative nature of research and the value of mentorship, while also providing advice for future PhD candidates.
The series will conclude with a special panel discussion featuring all our guest researchers, answering key questions from Talking Research listeners.
