“…This book clearly sets out and balances the critical, unscheduled and urgent care assessment priorities for paramedic students and those who are looking to refresh their skills. The content, depth of discussion and signposting within the book clearly highlight and discuss critical points for the reader which are supported with appropriate supporting evidence …We recommend this book to all of our paramedic students, and it should be an ‘essential’ purchase for all discerning paramedic students whether they are embarking on their studies or refreshing and updating their skills…”
Mark Nevins, Programme Leader, Paramedic Practice Programme, Teesside University, UK
“This second edition draws on additional guidelines and best practice to elegantly illustrate the fundamental knowledge and skills required to undertake a comprehensive, evidence based approach to patient assessment. The book builds on the plethora of knowledge and understanding of patient assessment, from common presentations through to complex specialisms which require a focused and often prompt response from the out-of-hospital care provider.
This book is ideally suited to the undergraduate paramedic student, along with experienced paramedics wishing to review their assessment techniques.”
John Donaghy, Principal Lecturer and Professional Lead, Paramedic Science, University of Hertfordshire, UK
