Doctorate Title: Developing Paramedic Led Research in Ultra-acute Stroke
Doctorate Description: It is the aim of this mixed methods doctoral study to build knowledge surrounding the initiation, logistics, successes and challenges of implementing the randomised controlled trial, RIGHT-2, within eight UK ambulance services and how this impacts upon the pre-hospital care of stroke patients. The unique insight gained from RIGHT-2 will be used to develop effective strategies when designing, implementing and supporting future research activity within ambulance services.
