| Abstract | The term 'paramedicine' is an ever-increasing part of the lexicon in numerous ambulance services and stakeholder organisations across the globe. However, it is unclear if a consensus exists on the definition of paramedicine that transects international boundaries. This editorial intends to stimulate a robust discussion to find an international consensus on the definition of paramedicine. |
