Assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, Fundamentals of Paramedic Practice presents you with 'must-have' information about both the theory and practice of what it means to be a paramedic. Divided into two sections, the first explores the theory of the subject, with chapters on professionalism, research methods, human factors, and sociological and legal/ethical perspectives. The second section allows you to apply these theories to practice, with a range of practical skills-focused chapters on assessment, paediatric care, mental health and capacity, medical emergencies, obstetrics, trauma and emergencies. With extensive full-colour illustrations throughout, as well as activities and scenarios, this user-friendly textbook will support you throughout your entire course. --
