Where I am going

Abstract

Following on from a tumultuous 12 months adjusting to a new ambulance service, my second year as a newly qualified paramedic (NQP), and an assault that forced me to step back from the role that I love for 4 months, I have often wondered ’where do I go from here?’ While I wish to never be faced with such a sinister situation again, the time away allowed me to gain an invaluable prospective on my journey thus far—where I was, where I am now and, most importantly, where I am going.
