Background

About Danny Dixon

By teaching you will learn, by learning you will teach” (Latin Proverb). I am a passionate and experienced paramedic, with a background in education and staff development and an interest in using my skills and experience to further the careers of others. I love to learn, and I love to share that learning with others - with a strong focus on restorative culture and the use of adverse events as a platform for improvement rather than punishment. I like to challenge and be challenged, I enjoy a healthy debate, and I will happily research the evidence to support my position or better understand that of others. I believe everybody has the capacity to develop given the right motivation and support, and I endeavour to be that support. Throughout my career I have developed my skills in the four pillars of advanced practice: clinical; education; research and development; and leadership and management. I currently lead a small team with a vast portfolio, and I’ve become known as a supportive manager who can get the best out of my team through compassionate leadership. Beyond my professional endeavours, my focus is on my family - my wife keeps me grounded, whilst my son and daughter keep me on my toes - in the best possible way!
