Equality, diversity and Protected characteristics in Critical Care - The EPiCC Study
Overview Summary of Project
The study aims to obtain a comprehensive view of the EDI landscape within prehospital critical care by exploring a diverse range of clinician perspectives. This includes those currently working within critical care roles and those from the broader prehospital workforce who may aspire to or have previously sought critical care positions. By capturing positive and challenging experiences in accessing and progressing within critical care roles, this study seeks to identify actionable insights that will benefit all levels of the prehospital clinical workforce.
The study is in the form of an anonymous online questionnaire. It is a collaboration between AAKSS and SECamb.
