<<There is an argument that paramedics should be extended-trained A+E
nurses
(as they are in Holland), but the shortage of nurses and the increased
costs
makes this unlikely in the UK.>>
Robbie Coull
There is a trial, funded by DoH, that has just strated in Warwickshire that
is training three paramedics to have A&E nursing skills and three nurses to
have pramedic skills, so that they can work in both environements. Just
interviewed for the six people, so ask again in two years time!
