Doctorate Title: International paramedic recruitment: A mixed method exploratory study into experiences of Polish paramedics transitioning into roles in NHS Ambulance Trusts in England
Doctorate Description: A mixed-methods design was adopted, with a two-stage sequential process. The first exploratory stage used a qualitative approach to elicit themes through structured focus groups with current ITPs, UK-trained peers and supervisors. The themes were then used as the basis for development of a quantitative questionnaire in the second stage, to establish validity of the stage 1 findings in the wider population of internationally trained paramedics. Participants were recruited from the three ambulance services employing the majority of ITPs in England
