• About

    The Shift Extension is a free-to-access, open-source publication that is committed to providing industry-relevant information and literature to enhance the development of the paramedicine profession through the sharing of information. One of our main aims is to reduce the loss of important, yet unpublished paramedic literature. Our goal is to capture this information and create a repository of short publications considered valuable to the international paramedic community.

    Our editorial team and contributors aim to deliver the latest and most reliable paramedicine information through paramedic experiences, case studies, research, clinical breakthroughs, management perspectives, equipment innovations, and advice. TSE also aims to encourage paramedics, EMDs and next-gen paramedics to write and disseminate fun and engaging content through perspectives and storytelling to develop the paramedic culture within our profession.

  • Who?

    We are paramedics, educators, dispatchers, and students who want to hear from paramedics, students, dispatches, managers, team leaders, nurses, doctors, and anyone else who is in any way involved in the delivery of paramedic care, paramedic practice, emergency health care, community health care or ambulance care.

    What?

    The Shift Extension is a safe, educational, fun, and encouraging place for paramedic and EMD writers and readers to share their experience, knowledge, and community. It is one of the few places that Australasian-based paramedics and EMDs can come together to publish, share and learn from each other.

    When & Where?

    The benefit of being an online journal / magazine is that we can occupy any device with access to the internet and readers can access our content anywhere at anytime. During the long hours on shift, paramedics, and EMDs can access TSE content, and because we are a publish-on-demand model, we publish new content weekly.

    Why?

    In 2020, it was identified that there were few places for Australasian EMDs and paramedics to write, publish and share their experiences. Particularly in the online space. There were even fewer places that would encourage and develop new paramedic writers. TSE was created to fill this gap as an independent paramedic led, paramedic publisher. 

  • The Editorial Committee

    The Editorial Committee is a collection experts and academics from paramedicine with significant experience in writing, research and publishing. The role of the editorial board is to advise and support the editorial functions such as topic allocation, reviewing, writing, mentoring, improving the platform and promoting the platform to their colleagues and peers.
