As paramedic involvement in primary health care develops, there is increasing focus on the GP-paramedic collaborative relationship. Resulting issues regarding professional boundaries may occur, as paramedics practice in fields that were previously solely in the GP scope. An effective paramedic-GP working relationship will be an essential foundation to the success of future strategies. METHODS A search of three electronic databases was completed (Ovid MEDLINE, Embase Classic+Embase and CINAHL Plus). Eligibility for inclusion required analysis of the relationship between paramedics and GPs. All processes were completed by two independent reviewers. RESULTS After removal of duplicates, 4995 titles were screened by title and/or abstract. After full-text review, 15 studies were included. Five themes were identified that contribute significantly to the strengths and weaknesses of the relationship - the importance of communication, understanding scope of practice, leadership roles, responsibility for patient care and interdisciplinary training. Issues identified included significant variation in the structure of different emergency medical services and varying standards of education requirements for paramedics worldwide.
