US Fulbright scholar to speak at CSU in Bathurst

1 JANUARY 2003

Members of the public, health professionals, academics and students are invited to a free public lecture by Dr Brian Maguire, a visiting US Fulbright scholar at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Bathurst, on Wednesday 19 May. Professor Peter O’Meara, Professor in Paramedic Practice and Leadership at the School of Biomedical Sciences at CSU in Bathurst said it was a wonderful opportunity for anyone interested in the future of paramedic and ambulance services to hear and meet Dr Maguire, a researcher who is contributing to the shaping of paramedic practice and services around the world. “Dr Maguire's groundbreaking research in the United States was the first to show that ambulance personnel in that country have an occupational fatality rate and a non-fatal injury rate that is far above the national average and comparable to the rates for police and fire-fighters,” Professor O’Meara said.
