In this episode, we explore Professor Will Broughton’s inaugural lecture, Beyond the Sirens: The Unique and Evolving Nature of Paramedicine. As the UK’s second-ever “Paramedic Chair,” Professor Broughton challenges the outdated perception of paramedics as mere “ambulance drivers,” instead highlighting the profession’s evolution into one of sophisticated clinical expertise.
He discusses the broadening role of paramedics, from complex medical interventions to their increasing involvement in community health. His insights shed light on how paramedicine has progressed since the days of "urban mobile resuscitation" in 1976, and the future potential of the field.
Tune in as Professor Broughton shares his journey from his early experiences with the Red Cross to founding the UK’s first student paramedic conference, and how his time with the London Ambulance Service prepared him for his roles in education and research. We also hear his thoughts on the shifting gender dynamics within paramedicine and how technology will shape its future.
In a lighthearted moment, Professor Broughton recounts an unexpected New Year’s Eve shift where he found himself acting as an emergency plumber, illustrating the flexibility paramedics must now possess. Additionally, he reflects on the importance of asking, “What is our brand?” and the key research areas that will continue to propel Paramedicine forward.
