Assessing the role and employability of military advanced practitioners in deployed pre-hospital setting: a qualitative interview study
Assessing the role and employability of military advanced practitioners in deployed pre-hospital setting: a qualitative interview study
Previous research in the UK civilian sector indicates that advanced practitioner (AP) roles could significantly enhance the Defence workforce by addressing increasing healthcare demands in austere and remote environments. Defence Medical Services (DMS) could deploy APs to deliver pre-hospital emergency care (PHEC) on operations, potentially improving patient outcomes in resource-limited settings. While the DMS has trained a few APs, limited research defines their operational role. This study assesses whether military APs can contribute to the deployed pre-hospital workforce.

Abstract
Previous research in the UK civilian sector indicates that advanced practitioner (AP) roles could significantly enhance the Defence workforce by addressing increasing healthcare demands in austere and remote environments. Defence Medical Services (DMS) could deploy APs to deliver pre-hospital emergency care (PHEC) on operations, potentially improving patient outcomes in resource-limited settings. While the DMS has trained a few APs, limited research defines their operational role. This study assesses whether military APs can contribute to the deployed pre-hospital workforce.
