ACPIC 2021 - Should I consider this drug? - The problems for students and trainee paramedics when using CPGs for education and learning

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.

From what we have learnt in our studies of paramedic guidelines, we know that they are often used for training and education across the lifespan of a working paramedic. This session discusses the challenges of creating good clinical practice guidelines that set standards for those learning and reduce the risks within clinical practice. The language within the clinical practice guidelines is discussed and how this can affect clinical decision making. From novice to expert, we look at the practical aspects of building good guidelines relevant to our profession.
