A high-impact approach to death and dying training
Duncan McConnell
This publication focuses on high impact simulation around death and dying, with Paramedic University Students.
This article breaks down the steps involved in delivering this vital aspect of knowledge required by all Paramedics and explains the benefits of implementing such a scenario within your own training programs.
It also highlights the simple and low cost approach, designed to achieve the most impact to your students or a professional development training session for qualified staff.

Paramedic Degree Development
Duncan McConnell
This article in the Aug/Sep Canadian Paramedicine Journal, discusses how paramedicine degrees could be development from current educational modules already in place across Canada.
It provides examples of current processes and educational pathways, along with collaborative ideas on how collegeds, universities and employees could work together to make this transition occur a lot quicker than many people state it will take.

Unexpected Journey into Paramedic Research
Duncan McConnell
This article in the June/July Canadian Paramedicine Journal, discusses how any paramedic can become involved in paramedic research.
It provides real life examples of how I became involved in paramedic research and encourages readings how they can become involved as well.
If we are going to lead the Paramedicine Profession into the future and be recognised in the same way are other medical and allied health professions, then we need to lead the way in our own Paramedic Research as well.
