Preface

Paramedicine is a fast‐paced, ever‐changing profession and those who practise as paramedics must be able to keep up to date with changes using the latest evidence and expert opinion where evidence does not exist. Paramedic education precedes clinical practice and therefore high‐quality learning materials are essential to prepare student paramedics for employment.

The case studies in this book bring together a diverse range of examples that accurately represent the caseload experienced by contemporary paramedics all in one place. They use a mix of evidence‐based cases and expert opinion supplied by leaders in the industry.

Case‐based learning (CBL) and problem‐based learning (PBL) rely on high‐quality, well‐written case studies that paramedic educators, students and clinicians can use to aid their understanding of out‐of‐hospital care. Not only is the content contemporary, but the cases are structured in a manner that reflects a systematic approach to each scene, allowing students to develop a sense of structure to the way they proceed in each case. Each chapter has a range of interactive learning activities that allow students to stop and think about what is going on, and the questions throughout the cases provide students with additional learning opportunities.
