Doctorate Title: How does experience shape the formation of paramedic professional identity: A realistic evaluation.
Doctorate Description: The purpose of this theory-driven study is to explore how paramedics define their professional identity and to theorise how paramedic professional identity emerges from experience. We want to see whether the experiences of paramedics and features of paramedic professional identity are unique to individuals or whether there are features of paramedic professional identity that are shared, common or perhaps even universal.
Ultimately this study aims to contribute to the philosophical underpinnings of the paramedic profession and in so doing contribute the development of the profession as it moves into its third decade in the United Kingdom. It will examine what generates professional identity, for who, and in what circumstances.
