Episode: Beyond the Sirens: The Unique and Evolving Nature of Paramedicine with Will Broughton
Description: In this episode, we explore Professor Will Broughton’s inaugural lecture, Beyond the Sirens: The Unique and Evolving Nature of Paramedicine. As the UK’s second-ever “Paramedic Chair,” Professor Broughton challenges the outdated perception of paramedics as mere “ambulance drivers,” instead highlighting the profession’s evolution into one of sophisticated clinical expertise.
