Paramedics Australasia – we have a new name!

Alan Eade — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 07:37:23 +0000

The extraordinary general meeting was held this afternoon and a new name for the organisation has been determined following a vote of eligible members.

Our new name is Paramedics Australasia.

The motion was put to the membership following a unanimous board recommendation. At the specially convened EGM a secret ballot was conducted allowing the maximal representation of the membership by proxy voting. 79.23% of eligible votes were in favour of the motion and as such it was carried.

Paramedics Australasia will migrate progressively to the new name including website, stationary, and logo over the coming months.

The board is grateful to all members who attended the EGM, submitted proxy votes, and have participated in this significant event in our history.

ACAP Tasmania would like to Congratulate Peter Mulholland, an Ambulance Tasmania Volunteer educator, on the completion of his research masters thesis. Peter received a bursary from ACAP in 2006 to assist him to complete his research masters. Peter’s thesis provides an important insight into the differences in practice that exist between rural and urban based paramedics across Tasmania and Victoria. Peter also enlightens future directions for education and training to meet the unique and often isolated work environment experienced by rural paramedics across Australia.
ACAP would like thank Calvary Health Care Tasmania and the University of Tasmania for their suppourt and assistance of the Bursary program.
Peter is pictured below with representatives from ACAP Tas,
Calvary Health Care Tasmania and Ambulance Tasmania.

A bursary is offered each year to assist individuals in complete post graduate research study. For further details contact the ACAP Tas Chairman.
