| dc.description.abstract | If you are a frontline clinician within an ambulance service, you will be fully aware that mental health incidents are commonplace, complex, time consuming and, at times, frustrating for both patient and clinician. The traditional training that paramedics and technicians undergo will include mental health conditions; however, the proportion of incidents attended compared to the time afforded to this topic do not equate. I can confidently say that a Paramedic BSc programme will spend considerably more time covering trauma management and cardiac arrest than how to take a comprehensive mental health history, formulate a safe plan and accept a refusal from a patient that has self-harmed and will not go to hospital.
