Paramedic rep brings a fresh perspective to trauma registry 

CQUniversity's Anthony Weber will be able to bring a paramedic academic perspective to the table, as he's been invited to join the Queensland Trauma Registry, a case study review program involving around 20 public hospitals and the University of Queensland.

Mr Weber's input as a senior lecturer in Paramedic Science will be valuable as the Registry strives for evidence-based practice through data collection, clinical review and scientific research.

"They tend to review when things have gone wrong in a trauma situation to ensure better procedures next time," Mr Weber says.

"I'll be providing an academic perspective where I can supply current best practice evidence-based medicine from throughout the world, but more importantly offer a link between CQUniversity and the QTR for research opportunities and health promotion/prevention strategies based on monthly findings of trauma epidemiology, as well as offer the paramedic simulation labs to QHealth as an area to train in certain high risk trauma cases to facilitate a better patient care outcome."

The Registry has been operating since 1998 and has been state-wide since 2002. It strives for better results by collecting, analysing and distributing clinical and population data to support the quality assurance process and inform trauma service management and research.
