This volume provides fresh insights and management understanding of
the changing role of the ambulance services against the backdrop of
massive cuts in health budgets around the world and the changing
context of pre-hospital care within the wider healthcare networks.
The challenges of funding, training and cultural transformation are
now felt globally. The need to learn and adapt from suitable models
of ambulance service delivery have never been greater. The book
offers critical insights into the theory and practice of strategic
and operational management of ambulance services and the leadership
needs for the service. One of the highlight of this volume is to
bring together scholarship using experts- academics, practitioners
and professionals in the field, to each of the chosen topics. The
chapters are based in the practical experiences of the authors and
are written in a way that is accessible and suitable for a range of
audiences. We are confident that this book will cater to a wider
audience to inform policy and practice, both in the UK and
internationally. Paresh Wankhade is Professor of Leadership and
Management at Edge Hill University, UK Kevin Mackway-Jones is the
Medical Director at North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust, UK
Endorsements "This unique and valuable publication, charts the
history and development of the ambulance service in England over
the last hundred years or so. The role of this key emergency
service has always been important, and arguably never more so than
today. The contributing authors have not only provided the reader
with great insights into where the service has come from and the
leadership challenges it has, and continues to face; it also gives
examples of how the future could look as our journey of
transformation continues." Peter Bradley CBE, MBA (and author of
Taking Healthcare to the Patient 2005), Chief Executive Officer. St
John National Headquarters, New Zealand "With a year on year
increase in demand for emergency ambulances and over 9 million
calls annually, the UK Ambulance Service must change from its
emergency care and transport focus model. With the increase in
professionalism of paramedics and an uplift in assessment and
clinical skills the modern paramedic is increasingly able to treat
at home, direct patients with alternative care pathways and avoid
transportation to overburdened Emergency Departments. Whilst there
is some historical and cultural resistance to change there is a
need for further development in clinical skills and a new
perspective for the future Ambulance Service. This book brings
together practitioners, managers, academics and provides a broad
understanding of the major management issues in the UK Ambulance
Service. It includes the history of the Ambulance Service, quality
and risk management issues, commissioning, leadership,
intra-operability and shape of the future ambulance service. The
content will be of interest to students, practitioners and
academics". Sir Keith Porter, Professor of Clinical Traumatology,
University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, United
Kingdom
