This short essay supports the growing role of paramedics in the clinical and academic workforce. We present a commentary of recent draft consultations by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence in England that set out how the role of paramedics may be evolving to assist with the changing demands on the clinical workforce. Using these consultations as a basis, we extend their recommendations and suggest that the profession should also lead the academically driven evaluation of these new roles.
这篇短文支持护理人员在临床和学术劳动力中发挥更大作用。我们对英国国家卫生与保健优化研究所最近的一系列草案咨询进行了评论，这些草案阐述了护理人员的角色如何演变以应对临床劳动力需求的变化。在此基础上，我们对这些建议进行了扩展，并认为该专业还应率先对这些新角色进行学术驱动的评估。
