Research Paramedic
A research paramedic combines clinical practice with research and leadership to advance their career. They are encouraged to explore programs like the Integrated Clinical Academic Programme, supported by Health Education England and the National Institute for Health Research, to further their development. Engaging with the wider healthcare research community, they aim to build partnerships between higher education institutions, ambulance services, and healthcare settings to promote paramedic research and publish original findings.
