Towards a person-centred holistic consultation framework for paramedics attending non-acute presentations: A multidisciplinary commentary"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Abstract<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Introduction<br>Traditional rapid-assessment models may not be fully suited for the complex presentations that paramedics commonly encounter. As paramedicine evolves to meet non-emergency patient needs, extended practice community paramedic (CP) roles are emerging to deliver holistic and collaborative community-based healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Purpose<br>This commentary outlines the need for a Community Paramedic-Patient Consultation Framework (CP-PCF). A framework that provides a structured process for paramedics, who are transitioning into CP roles, to guide them in conducting advanced, comprehensive, and patient-centred holistic assessments. It highlights the importance of understanding biopsychosocial factors influencing patient wellbeing and provides a conceptual foundational framework as an example for further development and validation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Relevance<br>A standardised systematic consultation approach supports more effective communication, shared decision-making, and safe care planning. Such a framework aligns with professional standards, enhances interprofessional collaboration, and improves health literacy and equity for structurally marginalised patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outcome<br>We further propose a nine-phase CP-PCF to improve paramedic confidence, accuracy in clinical reasoning, and patient outcomes. Through patient engagement, trust-building, and addressing the social determinants of health, this framework aims to refine CP practice and support integrated care models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conclusion<br>By guiding paramedics toward a structured, holistic consultation approach, the proposed CP-PCF may help bridge the gap between emergency-focused practices and community-based care for non-emergency presentations. As paramedics gain confidence in exploring each patient\u2019s individual biopsychosocial circumstances, they will be better equipped to improve patient experiences and outcomes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"http:\/\/alanbatt.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/250430-King-et-al-Consultation-Framework.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of 250430 King et al Consultation Framework.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-943a326d-d45a-4985-ab2c-69497ddabb71\" href=\"http:\/\/alanbatt.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/250430-King-et-al-Consultation-Framework.pdf\">250430 King et al Consultation Framework<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/alanbatt.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/250430-King-et-al-Consultation-Framework.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-943a326d-d45a-4985-ab2c-69497ddabb71\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abstract IntroductionTraditional rapid-assessment models may not be fully suited for the complex presentations that paramedics commonly encounter.
