Community Paramedicine: A Handbook for Working in Primary Care Clinics (Canadian Edition)

Written and edited by over 20 clinicians within paramedicine and community paramedicine backgrounds, this essential reference text sets out the core clinical skills expected for community paramedics working in primary care settings in Canada.

Alongside a comprehensive range of topics related to community paramedicine practice in primary care settings, including assessment, diagnosis, investigations and management of a number of different presentations, it also covers aspects of consultation techniques, decision making and professional issues. Clinical chapters are concluded with case studies to help put theory into practice for the community paramedic working in the primary care setting.

Exploring the scope of the paramedic role and its fundamentals within the world of community paramedicine, this is a clinical reference for paramedics already practising community paramedicine, while also equipping prospective paramedics with the required theoretical underpinning and context necessary to build meaningful knowledge and understanding in this field.
