An Evaluation of early stage development of rotating paramedic model pilot sites

Abstract

This report, commissioned by Health Education England, aims to evaluate the development of a rotating paramedic model of care delivery designed to address both the career aspirations of specialist paramedics and the combined workforce issues in ambulance services and primary care so that all, not just some, of the healthcare sectors can benefit. The fundamental principle of this model is that, rather than working within a single environment, a specialist or advanced paramedic can “rotate” through different sectors of the healthcare system whilst remaining employed by one employer.
