Abstract

Objective: In this article, the findings from a scoping review are presented identifying what is known regarding paramedic confidence, competence and education in managing the neurodivergent patient.

Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR) framework was used to identify what is known about the confidence, competence, preparedness and education when engaging with the neurodiverse patient.

Results: Four articles were identified that explored paramedics, their confidence, competence and education in assessment and management of the neurodivergent patient, highlighting the need to increase knowledge and understanding pertaining to the neurodivergent patient in order to improve care.

Conclusion: Given the unique role of the paramedic in contemporary health care, this study contributes to the discourse around appropriate levels of training for paramedics, as it highlights gaps in the literature associated with neurodiversity specific paramedic training.
