Abstract

Paramedicine is a constantly evolving field, with paramedic education programmes needing to be adaptable to keep up with changes in the scope of practice. Regulatory frameworks are crucial in guiding university programmes, providing students with the knowledge, skills, and professional attributes necessary to be safe and competent practitioners. This study aimed to identify variations in regulatory structures, the factors that influence those variations, and how they influence curricula. A descriptive-comparative approach was taken to examine paramedic accreditation processes, curricula, and syllabi across five countries using a modified Brady's model and extending the Comparative Education model. The findings suggest that paramedic services, regulatory authorities, and tertiary institutions must adopt a multilateral approach to recognise paramedicine's evolving scope of practice. All three stakeholders are responsible for aligning regulatory frameworks with industry needs and providing curricula guidance to tertiary institutions. This approach will enable paramedic education programmes to remain relevant and adaptable to changes in the field, ensuring that graduates are safe and competent practitioners. In conclusion, this study highlights the need for a collaborative effort between paramedic services, regulatory authorities, and tertiary institutions to recognise paramedicine's evolving scope of practice. The need for recognition of this evolution in both regulatory frameworks and curricula is a significant concern, and a multilateral approach is required to address this issue. This study provides valuable insights into the factors that influence variations in regulatory structures and their influence on curricula.
英国辅助医疗监管框架比较及其对课程的影响:描述性比较审查
辅助医疗是一个不断发展的领域,辅助医疗教育课程需要适应实践范围的变化。监管框架是指导大学课程的关键,它为学生提供必要的知识、技能和专业素质,使其成为安全、称职的从业人员。本研究旨在确定监管结构的差异、影响这些差异的因素以及它们如何影响课程。本研究采用描述性比较方法,利用修改后的布雷迪模型和扩展的比较教育模型,对五个国家的辅助医务人员认证程序、课程和教学大纲进行了研究。研究结果表明,辅助医疗服务机构、监管机构和高等院校必须采取多边方法,承认辅助医疗不断发展的实践范围。所有三个利益相关方都有责任根据行业需求调整监管框架,并为高等院校提供课程指导。这种方法将使辅助医疗教育课程保持相关性并适应该领域的变化,确保毕业生成为安全、称职的从业人员。总之,本研究强调了辅助医疗服务机构、监管机构和高等院校之间合作的必要性,以承认辅助医疗不断发展的实践范围。在监管框架和课程中承认这一演变的必要性是一个重大问题,需要采取多边方法来解决这一问题。本研究就影响监管结构变化的因素及其对课程的影响提供了宝贵的见解。
