Abstract
A paramedic’s role in the United Kingdom is to primarily respond and provide emergency medical care to patients in the community. Pediatric patients form a small percentage of ambulance call-outs per year, which impacts a paramedic’s confidence and competence when implementing effective healthcare protocols due to few attempts and existing opportunities to address pediatric patients’ needs. There are also pre-existing gaps and barriers in pediatric emergency paramedic education and the lack of exposure to that specific patient group for emergency medical service healthcare providers in the prehospital settings when responding to pediatric medical emergencies. Further guidance and support in paramedic practice and education could be advantageous in providing effective tools and knowledge to improve pediatric emergency care in prehospital settings.
