The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Paramedic Student Handbook by Tammie Bullard

Putting students in the picture to bring out their best in paramedicine.


Are you mentally ready for the reality of making an ambulance your everyday office?


Is it your hope to end every shift without second guessing your actions or inactions?


Do you want to follow the crowd, or create your own professional approach with intent?


Becoming a newly qualified paramedic or EMT is like a juggling act. With hands and minds full of ambition, fresh ideas, hard earned skills and newly acquired knowledge, it can be challenging to maintain the high standards that you're desperate to deliver. Even the best of intentions will be difficult to put into practice, without recognising what's important, and why. This book is your guide to growing good habits, so that little of the bad and even less of the ugly can creep in along the way.


While training and education teaches standalone skills and knowledge, little time is left to devote to the biggest learning curve of all. Putting everything together in one professional, compassionate and satisfying package. If you're looking for checklists to tick, flick and forget, this is not the book for you. But if you prefer to craft an individual brand of outstanding emergency care with intent, you'll find everything you need right here.


Nothing clinical will be covered. No tips or tricks on specific techniques. It's all about attitude to the softer skills that will set you up for success, ready to hit the ground running. A self-development style handbook, for students at any stage of preparation for a prehospital career.


  • Work on ways to bring out your best, so you provide nothing less than you'd expect for your loved ones.
  • Think through the things that may prove inwardly challenging, before they unexpectedly arise in reality.
  • Fine tune your focus and create proactive plans to avoid unnecessary incidents, and unwanted events.
  • Design a mindset that matches your moral compass, and satisfies those who depend on your dedication.


Through its friendly, conversational and easy to follow format, The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Paramedic Student Handbook puts you firmly in the driving seat of your own destiny toward the job of your dreams.

Bullard, Tammie: - Tammie is an Australian author with a passion for providing exemplary prehospital emergency care, and encouraging others to do the same. After deciding to become a paramedic, whilst living in a remote country town, she began by stepping up as a volunteer, before stepping down as a business owner, and diving head first into the world of paramedic practice. Throughout her academic journey from undergraduate to postgraduate qualifications in intensive care paramedicine, and a master's degree in critical care, her enthusiasm has steadily increased, along with her study debt. Tammie's experience in career ambulance ranges from paramedic, preceptor and trainer, to clinical support as a single responder. Through university lecturing and co-ordination roles, she has been fortunate enough to teach (and continually learn from) paramedics in every Australian state, either in person or online. For the duration of her career, at every level, Tammie has remained fascinated by recurring cultural chatter around what makes a great paramedic. Without professing to know the answers, her scribbled notes, collected over several years and resulting from countless conversations with hundreds of paramedics, have been gathered together in the shape of The GBU Approach, and this book. At the insistence of her long-suffering children, she has finally taken her own advice, to stop talking and actually do something about it!
