Abstract
Health promotion is a vast discipline involving empowering the community to improve its health. Health promotion has traditionally been the domain of specialist health promotion workers or health professionals working in the community context. Paramedics have a unique role in providing health care to the community outside of traditional health facilities and in lower workload areas, such as rural communities, may have significant capacity to participate in non-traditional activities such as health promotion.
