This week’s podcast from BASICS Scotland is with Tom Quinn, who explains the findings of the Paramedic 2 trial. Paramedic 2 has been described as a landmark study, the results of which have challenged conventional methods used to prioritise restarting the heart during an out of hospital cardiac arrest.

About TomTom is a cardiac nurse with 40 years’ experience (he started training as an orthopaedic nurse in 1979).
His NHS career has taken him from the bedside – general medicine and cardiac care units at both secondary and tertiary centres including Bart’s and the National Heart Hospital in London, and in York – to central Government where he was section head of the Department of Health policy team responsible for the National Service Framework for Coronary Heart Disease. Along the way he played a significant role in establishing the Defibrillators in Public Places Initiative and later was involved in the development of England’s national programme to provide primary angioplasty (attending and speaking at the initial meeting with the Prime Minister’s Delivery Unit). He subsequently worked strategically at regional level on cardiovascular issues, including 4 years in an ambulance service as a consultant cardiac nurse/regional head of cardiovascular, stroke and research. During this time he became a visiting professor at Coventry University, subsequently moving to the University of Surrey in 2009 as a full professor.
While at Surrey he was Associate Dean for Health & Medical Strategy, leading development of a 10-year strategy for the institution with NHS partners.
On moving to the Joint Faculty at Kingston & St George’s, University of London as Professor of Nursing, Tom took up a leadership role as Associate Dean for Research & Director of the Centre for Health & Social Care Research. On completing this term he became Professor of Cardiovascular Nursing, leading a new Emergency, Cardiovascular & Critical Care Research Group and is now also a BASICS Scotland trustee.
