As the demand for primary healthcare in the UK increases, a growing number of paramedics are taking on roles within general practice.

Written and edited by over 20 clinicians in the field of primary care, this is a core text exploring the scope of the paramedic role and its fundamentals within the world of primary care. This resource provides a clinical reference for paramedics already practising within this area, whilst also equipping prospective paramedics with the required theoretical underpinning and context necessary to build meaningful knowledge and understanding in this field.

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.

Moving into a new area of practice can be daunting, but with your years of clinical experience as a paramedic and this manual at your side, you will have the knowledge to approach any patient consultation in primary care.

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 OConnor - 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 Its a shame this book wasnt 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
