ACPIC 2021: Wicked Ramping

ACPIC 2021: Wicked Ramping

About

The ACP International Conference provides an unmatched opportunity for our members to learn from experts and leaders in paramedicine. ACPIC 2021 was delivered as a hybrid conference (online and face to face in the Sunshine Coast, QLD and Hobart, TAS) in November 2021.

In planning and policy, a ‘wicked problem’ is ‘a problem that is difficult or impossible to solve because of incomplete, contradictory, and changing requirements that are often difficult to recognize’. COVID-19 has focused our attention again on ambulance ramping and the capacity of our emergency prehospital systems to respond to surge conditions. This presentation describes the best available evidence on health services/ambulance response to these challenges.
