Welcome to Kerbside Conversations – the College’s podcast capturing authentic voices and stories from across the world of paramedicine.
In this conversation, Wayne Loudon shares his extensive experience in paramedic practice and the importance of community engagement in modern healthcare. He discusses the evolution of paramedic roles, the significance of building relationships within communities, and the need for a broader understanding of health that includes cultural perspectives. Wayne emphasizes the role of community members in emergency situations and the necessity of training local responders to enhance healthcare delivery in remote areas.
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.
