In the out of hospital environment, we are required to work in – often rapidly assembled – ‘ad-hoc’ teams with people we are unfamiliar with. Our 'team' environment is more unique than most. As paramedicine evolves, we are required to work closely with health professionals from other disciplines and may not fully understand their professional responsibilities.

This recorded webinar provides insights into the significance of teamwork in healthcare, emphasising professional roles and responsibilities while guiding viewers in implementing effective consultation methods for seamless continuity of care. You will also learn strategies to work collaboratively, share knowledge, and address challenges effectively within healthcare teams.
