This article is about some of the first paramedics in the world. It's talking about the important role black people had in the early days of a new profession. It's not talking in generalities about ambo care, about nurses, or about doctors. For some reason if an article says "hey, look, black people were among the first to do ..." it'll attract comments that try really hard to debunk it, and that will often mean posting articles about doctors in ambos, or pre-hospital care, or WWII ambos.

This was a great episode of 99PI. I listened to it a while ago after seeing a list of recommended episodes for road trips.
The US has been going through sort of a shift in the same regard as what it sounds like you might be going through in the UK.

In many states, NPs can operate their own practices and write prescriptions without being supervised by a doctor.
