Response
Response is the premier general interest journal of the Australian College of Ambulance Professionals (ACAP). The journal is distributed quarterly to every ACAP member as part of their membership. Non-ACAP members can also subscribe to the journal. Our readers consist of paramedics and a range of other pre-hospital care professionals across Australia. Response aims to publish articles of direct relevance to paramedic and pre-hospital care. This includes clinical issues, developments in pre-hospital care management, education and training, general research interest, profiles of key industry players, general news and commentary about the industry. Response is evolving according to the needs of ACAP members. We are introducing some exciting new sections plus maintaining some well established components in the new-look journal. Articles will usually be placed in one of the following categories:
- Special Features
- Frontline – clinical issues
