To assess the prevalence of burnout among emergency ambulance service workers in one station; to determine if there are any variances based on socio-demographic information such as gender, clinical grade and length service; examine distinctions between personal, work-related patient-related burnout; identify current workplace interventions reduce stress that will improve mental health well-being.Mixed methods - Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) was utilised, measuring across three domains...
Abstract Objectives During the first wave of COVID‐19 pandemic in United Kingdom (UK), to describe volume and pattern calls emergency ambulance services, proportion where an was dispatched, conveyed hospital, features triage used. Methods Semistructured electronic survey all UK services (n = 13) a request for routine service data on weekly call volumes 22 weeks (February 1–July 3, 2020). Questionnaires were emailed chief executives research leads followed by email telephone reminders. The...

Emergency medical services (EMS) are often patients' first point of contact for urgent and emergency care needs. Patients triaged over the phone may receive an ambulance response, with potential conveyance to hospital. A recent scoping review suggested disparities in EMS patient United States. However, it is unknown how health inequalities impact other developed countries being addressed.
<h3>Background</h3> The PACKMaN Study is a multi-centre, randomized, double blinded control drug trial which compared the clinical and cost effectiveness of ketamine against morphine for severe pain in adults with acute traumatic injury. This study was conducted collaboration by Warwick Clinical Trials Unit (WCTU) West Midlands Ambulance Service University NHS Foundation Trust (WMAS) Yorkshire (YAS). Both services choose to include Newly Qualified Paramedics (NQPs) Experienced (EPs)...
In January 2021, Yorkshire Ambulance Service and Hull University Teaching Hospitals implemented a pilot COVID-19 lateral flow testing (LFT) direct admissions pathway to assess the feasibility of using pre-hospital LFTs bypass emergency department. Due lower than anticipated uptake among paramedics, we undertook process evaluation reasons for low perceived potential benefits risks associated with pilot.We semi-structured telephone interviews 12 paramedics hospital staff. We aimed interview...
<h3>Background</h3> Emergency medical services (EMS) are often patients' first point of contact for urgent and emergency care needs. Patients triaged over the phone may subsequently receive an ambulance response with potential conveyance to hospital. A recent scoping review suggested disparities in EMS patient United States, but it is unknown how health inequalities impact other developed countries being addressed. The aim this rapid evidence map published literature was known patients...
<h3>Background</h3> Prehospital research may require ambulance clinicians to randomise patients in time-critical circumstances, while physically remote from senior support available other clinical settings. In the PACKMAN randomised controlled trial of ketamine versus morphine, both participating services permitted newly-qualified paramedics (NQPs - within 2 years registration) enrol study after completing relevant training, as they would be expected use intervention, were it brought into...
<h3>Background</h3> Pre-hospital analgesia research relies on the unfortunate circumstances of patients in their time need and severe pain. The PACKMaN trial involves paramedics gaining post event consent follow up suffering traumatic injuries. With changes to practise following Covid-19, it is important see how interaction with community affects continued participation. <h3>Methods</h3> This analysis compares paramedic up. two ambulance Trusts involved took different approaches for contact...
<h3>Background</h3> TRIM is an evaluation of the triage models used by emergency ambulance services caring for patients with suspected COVID-19 during pandemic’s first wave in 2020. We aimed to understand experiences and concerns staff about implementation protocols. <h3>Method</h3> Research paramedics interviewed stakeholders from four (call handlers, clinical advisors, paramedics, managers) ED receiving hospitals. Interviews (n=23) were conducted remotely using MS Teams, recorded,...
Background With millions of unscheduled patient contacts every year and increasing call outs clustered around the most deprived communities, it is clear ambulance sector could have a role to play in improving population health. However, application value public health approach within has not been comprehensively explored. A rapid review was undertaken explore delivery interventions what impact this on outcomes. Methods search strategy developed identify published peer reviewed literature...

Background TRIM is an evaluation of the models used to triage and manage emergency ambulance service care for patients with suspected Covid-19 during first wave pandemic in 2020. We aimed understand experiences concerns clinical managerial staff about implementation protocols call centre on-scene. Methods Research paramedics four study sites across England interviewed purposively selected stakeholders from services (call handlers, advisors centres, clinicians providing response, managers) ED...
