Ambulance Research in Victoria: the past, present and future.


About

Presented by Michael Stephenson Ambulance Victoria has been conducting clinical trials in the prehospital setting for more than 20 years. The ability to influence, validate and change clinical practice through research is well understood in medicine though this has not translated broadly to paramedicine. The professionalisation of ambulance practice and cross border collaboration opportunities present a rich opportunity for improving evidence led ambulance practice.
