Doctorate Title: Preparing Australian paramedics for effective health disaster response: Identifying core competency and a phenomenographic examination of current disaster response education.
Doctorate Description: The education and training of paramedics in disaster response is an essential part of preparedness within the disaster management cycle. While it is clear that disaster and major incident capabilities may differ depending on location, disasters in any state of Australia can potentially require a national response. As such, those paramedics responding to these events should have the same standardised core knowledge, competency and alibility. This project utilised a convergent mixed-method approach to analyse four discrete studies designed to examine the current state of disaster response education for Australian first responder paramedics and to make recommendations for future improvement.
