5.0 out of 5 stars A great grounding for every possible subject in Paramedic Practice!

Having borrowed this book time and time again from the library and friends, I decided it was time to own my own copy.

Unlike the majority of paramedic textbooks, it does not focus on clinical skills and anatomy and physiology thus making it the first paramedic textbook (in my knowledge!) to address the underpinning knowledge now required by every paramedic.

While the book does not go into excessive detail on any one subject there is enough information for you to understand the subject, then an inordinate amount of references to prompt further reading.

Blaber, hasn't yet let me down on any subject required for essays in my BSc Paramedic Practice course...and I'm nearly finished!

Great book, written brilliantly, highly reccomend for any aspiring paramedic or even for any healthcare professional to be honest! Pre or post training and qualification. Delivery came significantly faster than expected even in current times thanks to Amazon's amazing logistics!
