Tracy Nicholls, Chief Executive of the College of Paramedics, joins us in this episode. With over 25 years of experience, Tracy has significantly influenced the evolution of Paramedicine, from her early days as a paramedic to becoming the first registered paramedic on an NHS Trust Board of Directors. This conversation delves into the advancement of paramedicine over the last decade, the College of Paramedics' journey toward Royal College status, and the pressing issue of handover delays. We also explore the Paramedic Wellness Programme, the importance of International Paramedics Day, and the College's relationship with the HCPC. Mental health, especially its increasing focus in recent years, is also a key topic. Join us as we explore the past, present, and future of the paramedic profession.
