Abstract
As the new editor of the former Journal of Emergency Primary Health Care, now the Australasian Journal of Paramedicine, I welcome you to the first issue of 2013 and a new start for the journal. The Australasian Journal of Paramedicine (AJP) is the official open access, peer-reviewed, international journal of Paramedics Australasia (PA), the peak professional body for paramedics across Australasia.
