Additional Guidance •
Identify a critically unwell case from practice that allows you to construct a convincing argument for the most appropriate paramedic intervention(s). o You should focus on 2 or 3 interventions and critically analyse your rationale for this case, this needs to be mapped against contemporary evidence-based practice. o Your discussions should interpret and validate against approved scope of practice. o As a key part of your writing, you should have a forward-looking perspective that synthesises your case against future practices and the profession’s direction.

Add your mentor verification form as an appendix.

Your case study must be accompanied by a signed statement from your mentor verifying that permission has been sought from the patient/service user to discuss their case.
