The Violence in Paramedicine Research Group is a collaboration between Peel Regional Paramedic Services, Urgences-Santé, the University of Windsor, the University of Toronto, and Queen's University. Together with a growing list of industry and community partners, we are committed to developing evidence-informed policy that:
Mitigates the risk of violence against paramedics and Emergency Medical Dispatchers (EMDs)
Supports paramedics and EMDs who have been affected
Strengthens paramedic and community safety at emergency calls with a high risk of violence
Led by Dr. Justin Mauszand Dr. Elizabeth Donnelly, we undertake robust translational research on the prevalence of violence against paramedics and EMDs, its risk factors, and the health consequences for paramedics.
