The second edition links ways of working to appropriate theory and reflects the current curriculum guidance from paramedic professional bodies. The book covers a wide variety of academic subjects, including those not traditionally taught in ambulance 'in-house' training, such as psychology and sociology. This expanded edition includes three new chapters on 'Specialist development roles for the paramedic', 'Care of vulnerable adults' and 'End of life care'. The book also covers: Ethics and law for the paramedic; Reflective practice and communication; Professional issues, including clinical audit and governance and anti-discriminatory practice; Psychological perspectives on health and ill health; Safeguarding children; Sociological perspective on health and ill health and social policy; and Managing change, decision making and leadership theory. Foundations for Paramedic Practice, 2nd Edition is a core text for student paramedics and a valuable resource for students of the allied health professions. Written by a team of experts from across the UK, the book includes numerous links to practice, illuminating case studies and examples to encourage you to 'stop and think' and reflect upon your practice experience.
