An excellent example that resulted in change to #CPGs and patient outcomes.
When it comes to best practice there is a place to follow the evidence and cite the original work/papers. That helps inform future developments & provides a link to past practices. #EBM #paramedics #EMS https://twitter.com/JennytalksPsych/status/1347981975110492161

I am surprised to learn that the originating #research unit has closed. This at a time when the benefits of #paramedicine research have seen it recognised as a discrete field of research in #Australia https://www.facebook.com/ParamedProf/posts/3129835690393496
That's a loss to be filled - perhaps by a new centre.

It should go without saying that after decades of experience I am a firm believer in #multicisciplinary teams whether in practice settings https://www.facebook.com/ParamedProf/posts/2790982097612192
or for progress in #research

The skillsets of innovation come from many sources.

The original work on spinal immobilisation during prehospital extrication: a proof of concept study, was notable and added to the body of knowledge. http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/releases/271091.php

St.Emlyn's also has links to other (relaated) topical papers.
