General practice; First aid & paramedical services

As the demand for primary healthcare in the UK increases, a growing number of paramedics are taking on roles within general practice. Moving into a new area of practice can be daunting, but with this manual at your side, you will have the knowledge and confidence to approach any patient consultation in primary care.

Written and edited by over 20 clinicians within paramedicine and primary care, this essential reference text sets out the core clinical skills expected for paramedics in primary care.

Alongside a comprehensive range of topics related to primary care, including assessment, diagnosis, investigations and management of a number of different presentations, it also covers aspects of consultation techniques, decision making and professional issues. Clinical chapters are concluded with case studies to help put theory into the context of the primary care setting and consolidate learning.

Exploring the scope of the paramedic role and its fundamentals within the world of primary care, this is a clinical reference for paramedics already practising in primary care, whilst also equipping prospective paramedics with the required theoretical underpinning and context necessary to build meaningful knowledge and understanding in this field.

This book is essential reading for any paramedic working in a primary care setting. It will deepen your understanding and knowledge of all aspects of general practice -- Rory O'Connor – Chair of Council, College of Paramedics A brilliant and timely text to support the paramedic profession transition into the complex world of Primary Care. An easy to navigate and essential resource. -- Kerry Robertshaw – Professional Development Lead, Advanced Practice, Welsh Ambulance Service. I would highly recommend this book to those thinking about or starting their journey into the world of primary care. Primary Care for Paramedics shares not only helpful information regarding the multiple medical scenarios that might be encountered, but also gives excellent insight into the operation, medical legal issues and decision-making processes needed for working in primary care. -- Kevin Reid It’s a shame this book wasn’t available when I was new into general practice. It covers all the common things you might encounter in primary care and looks, and is, an accessible resource for new and existing staff alike. -- Matt Dixon – Specialist Paramedic in Urgent and Emergency Care
