The knowledge desired by emergency medical service managers of their ambulance clinicians – a modified Delphi study

Ambulance services provide advanced care to out-of-hospital patients (Edwards et al., 2014; O ’Hara et al., 2014), with focus on medical assessment and treatment (Wireklint Sundström and Dahlberg, 2012). Usually a Swedish team of ambulance clinicians (ACs) consists of two Registered Nurses (with or without specialist training in ambulance care) or one Registered Nurse and one Emergency Me dical Technician (with a different level of training). Williams et al. (2014) found in a study with paramedic students that being an AC was described as involving a high degree of expertise and knowledge.
