Elliott, Ruth (2013) Exploring the developmental need for a paramedic pathway to mental health. Journal of paramedic practice, 5 (5). pp. 264-270. ISSN 2041-9457
Abstract

The following article discusses an organisational development need of a national 'Mental Health Pathway' to enable paramedics to provide the appropriate care for people who present mental health issues. The Department of Health acknowledges the huge modernisation of the ambulance service in England and faster access to people with immediate life-threatening conditions; however, the service is also responding to an increasing number of patients who have an urgent primary care need, which includes mental distress, as opposed to clinical emergency.
