One step ahead: registered nurse Malcolm Woollard has been made a visiting professor in pre-hospital emergency care by the University of Teesside. Understood to be the first person in the UK to hold such a title, he said: 'Receiving this title is an explicit recognition of our developing professional status and the importance placed on our contribution to patient care. Clearly, it would not have been possible for me to achieve this honour without the support and encouragement of many talented colleagues and mentors from the ambulance, medical and nursing professions. I truly am fortunate to be standing on the shoulders of giants'.
