Putting you in the centre of the action as a critical care paramedic, this book brings together a range of in-depth case studies on critical care.
It first presents you with a scenario, and then delves deep into the case details in order to challenge and assess your wider understanding of the situation.
This book will allow you to further your understanding and knowledge of critical care, whether studying for exams, working within an aeromedical environment or providing life-saving care on the ground.

By Julia Williams, Graham McClelland
Research is fundamental in generating evidence to inform best practice. Not only does it drive improvements in patient care, it also fosters the ongoing advancement of a profession. As the paramedic profession grows, so does the need for robust research. Edited by esteemed paramedics and researchers Julia Williams and Graham McClelland, Paramedic Research: Principles, Design and Methods harnesses the expertise of 45 contributors from across the broad spectrum of research, each bringing a wealth of insight and experience. The result is a practical resource which guides you through the entirety of the research process, from identifying areas needing investigation and designing research questions to data collection, analysis and presenting your findings in a meaningful way. Context is everything, so this book draws on examples of research undertaken in settings that are familiar to unscheduled, urgent and emergency care staff. This allows you to focus on the essential elements of research philosophies, principles and constructs without needing to learn about new healthcare environments. If you are hoping to master the transformative power of research within the prehospital and emergency care setting, understand its relevance and embrace it as an integral component of clinical practice, then this book is for you.
